The French Provincial Bathroom Vanities That You’ve Been Looking For

By Jakemontgomery @LTDOnlineStores

French provincial bathroom vanities differ from Parisian furniture and French Royal furniture. The style comes from the provincial towns of France like Blois, Orleans, Lyon, and Liege. French provincial design holds a cultural identity that is subtlety distinct from styles of the towering metropolis. French provincial is a blend of French, country and rustic styles of decorating.

Key Features of French Provincial Furniture:

  • Cabriole legs; dual curves vs bowed legs. Much more elegant and artisanal.
  • Scalloped Carvings have light grooves in them similar to the shell of a scallop.
  • Wheat Pattern Carving that are reflective of the country surroundings
  • An aged patina that is the result of polish and grim building up over time.
  • Emphasis on the carving rather than the paint, stain, or finish.

This post will highlight the beauty of French Provincial Vanities. If you do not find what you’re looking for, you can also browse the website to look through thousands of antique, transitional, and country bathroom vanities.  You can click on the images for more information about the particular vanity you’re interested in.
