The furniture of the Ancient World is of the utmost interest to archeologists and museums, but few collectors are lucky enough to own such early relics. The origins of antique furniture styles designed and crafted during the last three centuries were derived from the inspiration of these early civilizations.

Long ago on one of my early buying trip to the South of France in search of Country French antiques, I was introduced to talented young lady named Brigitte who spoke good English ~ which was a rarity in those days.

Antique French furniture has been the love of antique furniture lovers around the world. This furniture is known to add warmth and depth to the living environment. During its origins, the French Country Style was called Provincial-Style furniture. It attained its origins from within the countryside or rural regions of France. In fact, it was a rural interpretation of the more lavish styles found in the city Paris.

French antique furniture consisted both the sophisticated furniture made in Paris for the royalty, aristocrats and rich upper bourgeoisie on one hand, and French provincial furniture made in towns that retained the local cultural identity.

Country French antiques have been a delight to connoisseurs of antique stuff. From the French antiques the armoires, chairs, chandeliers and tables are the most popular.
