French Provincial Pendant Lights
Inspired by a unique style originating in or characteristic of the 17th and 18th century French provinces, French provincial lighting offers delicate illumination in the form of rustic yet ornate designs incorporating glass panes and fancy wire work. It embodies the balance, harmony, and romance of the countryside with an antique look that clearly reflects the European style of art and décor with a particular focus on combining beauty and elegance with rustic, country style features.
Another intriguing aspect of the French provincial lighting is that in many ways, it is akin to our own timeless Australian Country style and so suited to our relaxed way of life. It does too have a close association with the Hamptons Style which is a style that is also considered a timeless classic.
