About us

Rustique is an online antique store, providing a curated selection of French pottery, art, and tableware, sourced from rural France.

Founded in 2020 in London, our inventory gathers warm and inspiring pieces from the 17th to the early 20th century, from humble objects that were used every day to rare and exceptional discoveries. 

We specialize in characterful French pottery plates, jugs, and tulipieres, from the painterly lines of Nevers and Angouleme to the fresh colours of Les Islettes and Saint Clement. Our ceramics collection is complemented by an inspiring selection of 19th-century to midcentury oil paintings and prints, spanning expressive portraits, lively landscapes, and evocative still lives. 

Inspired by the mellow landscapes and daily rituals of the French countryside, our selection combines the colourful pleasures of handpainted decors with the richness of handmade textures. Each piece is chosen for its craftsmanship, and the relaxed elegance and authentic quality it brings to today's interiors. Our stock is updated regularly and our clients range from private customers to interior designers, in the UK and internationally.

IN YOUR WORDS

  • Rustique have such beautiful things on their site and when the perfect piece I was looking for popped up, Paul sold it to me for a good price and was utterly charming in the process! He even went out of his way to ensure that it made its way to me quickly for an event we needed it for. Couldn’t have been happier.

  • We travel to France regularly and Rustique manages to find antiques that we can’t even find there! I have bought some faience and it’s even lovelier and vibrant in colour in person!
