Questions About French Colonial Furniture
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To know if your French furniture is provincial, examine its decorative flourishes. Provincial furniture often showed off a white painted finish with gold gilt accents. Many pieces feature carvings depicting mythological subjects or floral motifs. On 1stDibs, find a collection of expertly vetted French provincial furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

Many styles share their names with the monarchs who ruled during the period. Examples include the Louis XIV, Louis XV and Louis XVI styles. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of French furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 4, 2024
    To identify Colonial furniture, first look the piece over from top to bottom. If you see any maker's marks, conduct research using trusted online resources to find out who produced your item and when the maker was in business. Pieces made in the USA between the mid-16th and mid-17th centuries are usually classified as Colonial. Should you be unable to locate a marking, the materials and style can provide clues.

    Most Colonial furniture was made of pine, elm, oak, mahogany or walnut wood. During the period, furniture tended to be simple overall, but it did include a few flourishes, such as turned cabriole legs. Because Colonial furniture was handcrafted, furnishings produced during the era usually have visible tool marks and slight irregularities in their carvings. Because there are numerous reproductions of Colonial pieces, you may wish to seek the opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer.

    On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of Colonial furniture.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024
    French furniture is usually just called French furniture in English. In French, someone might say "les meubles français," which translates directly to "French furniture." However, there are names for furniture styles inspired by the furniture produced in France. French Provincial is the name for pieces made in or inspired by craftsmen from the Loire Valley or in Lyon. Furniture produced in this style often shows off scalloped carvings and curving cabriole legs. French royal furniture is the general term for furnishings made for the monarchs of France or inspired by these pieces. An example is Louis XVI furniture, which often includes clean lines and carved details such as scrolls and acanthus flourishes that were inspired by ancient Greece and Rome. Find a wide variety of French furniture on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 3, 2023
    In French, the term for a writing desk that often featured a drop-down writing surface is secretaire. This type of desk is called a secretary desk in English. Simply put, a secretary desk is a multifunctional piece of furniture with a hinged writing surface that folds open or drops down. When the leaf is folded out, small inner storage compartments, which are called pigeonholes, cubbies, recesses or drawers, are revealed. On 1stDibs, shop antique secretary desks from some of the world's top sellers.
