Estelle French Provincial Half Moon Console Table, Distressed White Timber & Gold Leaf Iron

A demi-lune console with slender turned legs in chalky cream, gold-leaf cuffs and a gilded iron band sweeping the base.

Estelle is a French Provincial half-moon console with three slender turned fir-wood legs in chalky distressed cream, capped at the top with gold-leaf iron cuffs that meet a curved arch beneath the timber top. A second band of gold-leaf iron loops the base, tying the three legs together at floor level. The top is natural-finish fir, edged with a fine gold-leaf line along the curved front. Every surface is hand-finished, so the paintwork on the legs reads as gently chipped and worn rather than factory-fresh.

At 80 cm wide, 35.5 cm deep and 76 cm tall, Estelle is sized for the spaces other consoles overshoot: narrow hallways, landings, the wall behind a sofa, a window bay. The flat back lets her sit flush against a wall. Style her with a framed print, a pair of aged candlesticks and a cherub, slip a basket of foraged stems underneath, and she reads as a piece that has lived in a French home for years. Available in two colourways, with the darker version listed as Clémence Half Moon Console Table.

Why we love it

• ◆ Designed for narrow spaces, the flat back and 35.5 cm depth let Estelle sit flush in hallways, landings and against a sofa where a full-depth console will not fit.
• ◆ Three finishes layered into one piece, distressed cream legs, warm natural fir top, and gold-leaf iron at the cuffs, top edge and base band.
• ◆ Hand-finished character, the chippy paintwork on the legs and brushed gold-leaf on the iron read as genuinely aged, so Estelle slots into an established Provincial scheme without looking new.
• ◆ Generous styling top, the 80 cm wide half-moon holds a framed print, a small sculpture, a candlestick or two and a posy without crowding.

How to style it

Estelle is a foundation piece, she works hardest with the right styling. A few ways in.

• Anchor a hallway with a framed mirror from our mirror collection hung above, layered with a small stack of art books on the timber top.
• Style with a pair of candle holders, a cherub or angel sculpture and a softly stencilled framed print.
• Slip a woven basket of dried branches or flowering stems underneath, between the legs, for a vignette that reads as gathered over time.
• For a tonal hallway, pair Estelle with her darker sister Clémence Half Moon Console Table on opposite walls.

Care & Keeping

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners and prolonged contact with water, as these can lift the paintwork and the gold leaf. Keep Estelle out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources such as radiators and fireplaces. Lift the table to reposition rather than dragging, to protect both the legs and your floor. Indoor use only.

Because Estelle is hand-finished, slight variations in paintwork, gold-leaf coverage, distressing pattern and timber grain are natural and add to the unique character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
