French Provincial Dining Chair with advanced distressing and Painting Techniques

Laurel Crown is known for their authentic antique reproduction furniture. Painted Distressed furniture has become tremendously popular for decades, so it is not surprising that distressed furniture still demands the publics attention. The problem is that there aren't too many companies which turn out a quality product that has authentic distressing, glazing and faux painting that gives the appearance of an antique which has been loved for years and passed down through generations. That is why I LOVE this chair sold by Laurel Crown. This lovely french chair is reproduced from designs originating from the countryside of Southern France. This chair is made out of a solid pine wood frame, and beautifully aged producing a layered patina.Laurel Crown produces these fabulous finishes by layering on paint which is then scraped and sanded by hand. The chair has a caned seat and hand-chiseled floral carvings in the front. This chair is not only comfortable but durable to last years.

Parsons dining room chairs first made their debut in the 80's and still have remained in style today.   Parsons chairs are known for their comfort, so it is not surprising that many people choose this chair as their complete dining room chairs.  Instead of having the dated ruffled edge around the chair that were common in the 80's and 90's -today's chair is streamlined, featuring large pleats and flat pressed front and sides.  The shape hasn't changed, but the tailoring has.  These chairs still have tall backs, with elongated seats and feature no armrests.  In some sense, they are much like slipper chairs.

The number one decorating secret that most designers use to their advantage is fabric patterns. Parsons chairs are all about the fabric than the shape of the chair.   They have no armrests which allow the homeowner to fit more people at the table.  They also are quite comfortable with padded seats and backs.  Fabric can go a far way to giving the look of comfort and ease in your home.  Fabric also adds texture and  interest into your homes surroundings.

The type of fabric you choose can also go a far way in defining your style to others. If you are a formal person who really enjoys the finer things in life, then satins, brocades or raw silk fabric can give that feeling of regal elegance.  Natural Linens have been all the rage at Restoration Hardware and can be a timeless look.  The Nailhead Parsons Chair with Casters feature nailhead trim which outlines the rectangular shape.  Many people have trouble bringing in brighter colors into their home, but don't know how to execute it properly.  Picking out a fabric with color is almost like a work of art as you upholster a chair and add the brass nail head dressings.  A  chair can set the stage in the room, with the choice of fabrics and color.  If you are striving for a designers touch, a variety of fabrics with common elements of color can give a polished look quickly. Parsons chairs are all about the fabric. Whether you choose a simple linen, or a complicated pattern, fabric will always make a chair more comfortable.

Parsons chairs have always had the same shape over the years, but the one thing that has changed is the base of the chair.  It is no longer very stylish to upholster the legs, but today we are seeing the legs featured.  Again, a tailored look with pleats can bring a sense of precision and purposeful design at your dining room table.  Consider the parsons chair for your formal or informal dinner table.

In 1754 a book was published in London and called "The Gentleman and Cabinet-Maker’s Director" where cabinet maker Thomas Chippendale was by far some of the best designs listed. Chippendale's designs fall into three main styles: Gothic, Rococo, and Chinese. Thomas Chippendale blended all these style elements into unified designs. The term "chippendale" refers to English furniture of the 1750s and ’60s with a particular Rococo edge. Today chippendale chairs have gained popularity again, often seen in bright painted colors for whimsical and modern looks.

Many couples choose the french country because of their softer details.  French furniture has always been considered high end, and quite formal.  Traditional french chairs are often paired with silky fabric such as brocade, and gilt wood finishes.  While classic french furniture is very formal, french country styles on the other hand are often less serious.  They have the beautiful frames that are seen with classic french furniture, but are paired with cotton fabrics, and linens giving it a lived in feel.

Baroque/ Louis XVI Chairs Peter M. Trapolin Interior Design by Alexa Hampton

Louis XVI style fell between 1774–1793, which was at the time the tale end of Rococo and the beginning of Neoclassicism. Neoclassicaism was reflected in the architecture, painting, and sculptures, so the styles gravitated towards something opposite than the ornate rococo.  Louis XVI chairs are often oval, rectangular or shield form. The cabriole legs of the Louis XV had been replaced with straight legs and are fluted legs imitating the columns of ancient Rome. Most of the furniture and chests were retangular, or square than the obvious curves such as the Bombe chests of Louis XV.

The Louis XVI style was all about simplicity, which replaced the exotic over the top ornate styles of Louis XV. Between 1760-1789 most furniture lost the extra fuss and the lines became more architectural and straight. Painted chairs and tables were trimmed in gold or another contrasting color. Gilded wood becamse popular for chairs, and legs and vertical supports appeared turned resembling spindles, quivers, columns and balusters. Flat surfaces and right angles were the popular in this style and architectural motifs were still used as decorative elements.

Shaker furniture was originally produced at religious communities over the country during the early 19th century. The shaker design was marked by simplicity and practicality, while other late 19th century chairs that were produced similar to this design were often noted for extra frills and details, while the original shaker chair was simple in design. Shaker chairs have slat backs with 2 posts topped with finals. Slat back chairs were very popular for more than 200 years, so they can be found easily today. Although there may be reproductions, the antique chairs will show wear on the slats, stretchers and the bottoms of the feet. Sharply turned posts, and sharp edge rockers may be signs of recent manufacturing. There is nothing wrong with buying a copy instead of the authentic original shaker chairs, as they are just as beautiful. Below is a authentic painted Shaker chair in great condition.
