Below are a few favorite pieces.
Copied from an 18th-century Swedish design, the Splat Back Fauteuil features a bleached finish with traces of the original paint.
The Jelly Cupboard, a primitive, step-back cabinet with a heavily worn finish was inspired by a design from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, circa 1850.
The surface of the 18th Century Gateleg Table shows signs of wear, and the piece features vase-turned supports and aged hinges.
A reproduction Dutch Colonial Tea Stove made of fruitwood.
The walnut-frame Rolled Back Sofa, is upholstered with vintage flat-woven hemp and is embellished with down-filled pillows covered in hand-woven vintage cotton.
This late 18th-century-style Drab Coloured Table features a scrub pine top with traces of paint.
The painted Neoclassic Dining Chair was inspired by an original design from the early 19th-century and is upholstered with hand-dyed muslin.
The Sculptor's Pedestal and Covered Urn are made from solid bleached walnut.
The painted fruitwood Bull's Eye Mirror, inspired by a mid-19th-century French design, features hand-carved flowers and ribbons.

The company describes the collection as 'Artisanal Luxe,' being inspired by one-of-a-kind pieces and showcasing period construction details. I love the painted and distressed finishes and the Scandinavian and European influences.
Several good items here. You are right in that this is a step in another direction from the norm. I really like the jelly cuboard. Hope you have a great day! - Tonya
ReplyDeleteI would have never have guessed these pieces were by RL. Love them!

ReplyDeletePretty pieces!
ReplyDeleteHave always gone to the garage 1st at estate sales. Love the distressed stuff + more affordable. Until now!
ReplyDeleteDon't really like to collect things but it seems I do collect drop-leaf tables. You won't believe my latest aquisition. Price, age, boards widest I've ever seen.
Fell in love with a pic of your I saw on Content In A Cottage, small world.

ReplyDeleteInteresting to see Ralph going in this direction..seems to be following Restoration Hardwares trend but in a simpler form. Thanks for sharing, I would not have known his new work...someone has to keep us informed! I like it!
ReplyDeleteLeave it to Ralph not to be left behind. There are some lovely pieces there. Can't wait to see them in person.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, and lovely break from his usual train of thought/design. Love that sofa and those buckets!
