The Provencal Style, which has its origin in the Provence region, southeast of France, is characterized by its rustic and romantic appearance. It began its journey and development in the 18th century, following the premises of the sophisticated and rich Louis XV style but adapting it to the mansions of the French countryside where the aristocracy, and later bourgeoisie of the moment, recreated a warm atmosphere. It thus became a romantic break from the ostentatious palatial life of the court. This style is inspired by the natural beauty of its place of origin, rural spaces, full of vineyards, flowering fields, etc. The favorite material is wood, helping to create a warm and cozy atmosphere, usually with a worn appearance.
