French antiques online, from the rare to the everyday
Specialised in French Antiques online, Rustique brings you a unique selection of French pottery and artworks, from objects that were used every day to rare and exceptional discoveries. Our inventory focuses on antique French faience pieces from the 18th to the early 20th century, specialising in Nevers, Rouen, Samadet, and La Rochelle. With characterful scenes, colourful patterns, and painterly lines, they make the perfect decorative accent displayed on a shelf and some of our rarest items are true statement pieces.
As a counterpoint to antique French pottery, our selection of French antiques gathers a curated collection of antique oil paintings. We’ve selected antique and modern expressive landscapes, evocative still lives, and vibrant country scenes. Inspired by the mellow landscapes and daily rituals of the French countryside, our selection of art and pottery combines the colourful pleasures of handpainted decors with the richness of handmade textures. Each piece is selected for its craftsmanship, relaxed elegance, and authentic quality it brings to interiors.
Modern, impressionist and classic antique paintings
Antique and modern oil paintings complement our selection of antique ceramics. Landscape paintings depict evocative pastoral scenes with lakes and rivers, seascapes render calm beaches and rugged cliffs, and still lifes portray the lively textures of everyday life. Modern artworks are characterised by loose brushstrokes, planes of colours, and dynamic textures that render the changing hues of the seasons. Antique paintings include impressionist works of the 19th and early 20th centuries where painterly brushstrokes exquisitely render the movement of nature; as well as classical paintings of the 18th and 19th centuries with the poetic realism and warm tones of Arcadian landscapes.
Rare antique pottery & colourful French faience
We source continental antique pottery and French faience - tin-glazed earthenware with colourful decors on a white background. Our online selection of antique French pottery pieces gathers antique plates, antique platters, antique bowls, and characterful decorative pieces of French faience. Showcasing ornate decors from Rouen, delightful country scenes from Nevers, and lush florals from Eastern France, they bring colour and texture to a room when displayed on a shelf, hung or on a wall or simply placed on a table as a unique statement piece. Our selection of antique pottery vases, tulipieres, and jardiniere planters combines the timeless blue and white decors of Dutch delftware with vibrant French faience jardinieres from Nevers and Rouen. Rare antique pottery pieces are the perfect addition to a collection and we source unique items of 17th-century faience from Nevers with exquisite decors in blue and white.
Antique French mirrors, in giltwood and brass
From sumptuous giltwood to gorgeous tarnished brass, our selection of antique mirrors gathers unique French mirrors with exquisite ornamentation. Small giltwood mirrors add elegance to a bedroom or a corridor while a larger one like a miroir de Mariage makes an attractive statement above a mantelpiece or in a living room.
