Château Rustique

French, Welsh, Kitchen, Farmhouse, Jacobean, Country, Pine, Oak.... UK's winter of 2013-14 saw the highest level of orders for painted shabby chic dressers ever. This winter, The Contrast Dresser is leading the latest in used furniture 'must have's'.

After two years steady growth, Chateau Rustique are pleased to announce the launch of their new website.

Up until now, individuals spent hours, even years, hunting high and low to furnish their homes with antiques of their choice. In todays’ busy world, people are finding they have less time to do so. So what can they do to get what they want?

It is only a small market that demands furniture which is used and bespoke or rare and un peu différent with a little je ne sais quoi thrown in. In general, this clientele has emerged from the shabby chic era, and is here to stay.

With the recent surge in popularity of the modest washstand, Château Rustique decided to take a look into its history and the variety of styles it has of this unassuming piece of furniture.

Remember when putting green and blue together was a no-no, what about the horror on people’s faces when you put pine and mahogany in the same room? Is it the same today?

The surge in popularity for 17th and 18th century French Furniture culminates in an eclectic mix of Rustic combined with Régence. Why today have they been brought together as if it were always meant to be?

Castles, farmhouses, provincial, rustic, regal yet modest – the name ‘Château Rustique’ alone excites the imagination to summon up the romance and beauty of French home décor.
