In furniture history, we generally think of France for provincial furniture not only because this country was so important during the traditional timeline when furniture was occurring at the height of its art, but because this country has so many different culturally distinct regions which left very special marks on furniture history.
French country furniture implies the use of solid wood, and not veneer, but sometimes this term country or provincial is applied to pieces which are not rustic at all and which are in fact qualified as regional masterpieces from very sought after workshops in major cities of a given region.
The umbrella term “provincial” applies to all pieces made outside of Paris and this video presents a panel of different emblematic provincial period pieces which reveal the diversity and the beauty of this class of furniture.
