It’s been a while since we had a nice French Prudential piece, hasn’t it?
French Pervential – $3200
French Pervential 3 pice sofa Loveseat And arm chair Two End Tables One coffe table Very Clean Excelent Condition Like New $3200 O.B.O For more info call at xxx-xxx-xxxx ask for bob
Somehow I always pictured pervential furniture as involving a lot more black leather and eyebolts. I don’t even see any trapezes. I’m so disappointed.
cought &chair – $500
1960es french proncial chought &chair good shape
Just couldn’t even be bothered, could you? It’s barely worth getting out of bed in the morning for a measly $500 anymore, I’m sure — why should you make all the effort to spell out the word “Provincial” or come anywhere near approximating the word couch?
Just out of curiosity, I checked. There are 211 words ending with -ght in the English language. As far as I can tell, not a single one of them is pronounced with the same ending sound as the word couch. In related news, it’s official — the internet is completely full. If there’s a site listing the 211 words that end in -ght, there’s nothing more to be done.
Thanks to jentherose and Diana from Vancouver for the submissions!

It’s gotten so bad that whenever I see a listing for French Provincial, I actually have to stop and think about whether that’s right or not. I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s done this, since a couple of people have sent me listings for French Provincial furniture!
This beautiful Antic French prevention style couch has been in the family for over 40 years. The reason for the sale is that we are moving out of country. Will accept only cash or cashers check, will deliver also.
I was getting worried that our favorite furniture style wasn’t showing up on Craigslist anymore. I thought people might actually be learning something from this blog, and we can’t have that!
Thank goodness for this beautiful item — it’s an antic, you know!
About 6 months ago i bought a Beautiful french prevential 3 piece living room set, hardly sat on, tags r still on… but now i need to sell the set, so serious callers only please… 🙂
ask for elizabeth, xxx xxx xxxx, also matching marble tables n capidimonte lamps from italy

I guess if you’re going to have French Prevential furniture, you have to have ‘capidimonte‘ lamps to go with it. Because it’s not classy otherwise. (Okay, full disclosure: no, I didn’t know what a capodimonte lamp was either, but I knew enough to look it up!
You know what else is classy? Leaving the tags on your furniture for six months. Minnie Pearl would be proud.
But wait, there’s more! (Of course there is.) (more…)

For those new-ish to the blog, this should help explain.
For those who missed the comment in the last post, I’ve issued a mission — to find YSaC-worthy W4M ads, since we’ve been featuring a lot of M4W lately. Search and submit!
Just in case you thought the last French Preventional entry was a fluke (which, I have to admit, I did!), here’s evidence to the contrary:
French prevential 5 Drawer Chest-of-drawers / real wood – $35
Five drawer,french prevential,real wood,chest-of-drawers.Needs a little TLC. Asking 35.00. If interested, please call [xxx-xxx-xxxx]. Please see piture.
At least they didn’t put “Chester drawers.” And that is a lovely piture.
Mauve footstool – $20
Mauve material, with brass button studs, wood legs. French preventional style.
Those French Preventionists loved mauve. They weren’t afraid of color, like those French Prudentialists. The Prudentialists were all about being prim and proper and monochromatic — they were prudish with their colors, if you will. The Preventionists? They loved color. Mauve, puce, chartreuse, magenta, burnt umber — they used ’em all.
