Violette French Provincial Cake Stand, Timber Top, Distressed White Pedestal
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
A timber top on a soft white pedestal, worn just enough to look like it has always been there.
Violette is a pedestal cake stand with a round natural timber top set above a pierced metal gallery, worked in a row of linked circles. It stands on a turned baluster column and a flared foot, all finished in a distressed antique white.
The white is deliberately worn, rubbed back here and there to a darker tone so the stand looks gently aged rather than new. With the warm timber above and the soft white below, it carries that French farmhouse feeling, equally at home holding a cake, a stack of pastries, or a small still life.
The cake, fruit, tea things, and other styling in the photographs are not included. You receive the stand on its own. This is a short run, with only a few available.
Why we love it
- ◆ Warm timber top, a natural wood surface that sits beautifully against the soft white base.
- ◆ Pierced gallery band, a delicate row of linked circles around the rim that lifts the whole piece.
- ◆ Distressed white finish, worn back by design for an aged, French farmhouse look.
- ◆ A short run, only a few of these, so it stays a little bit special.

How to style it
A few ways to use it:
- Raise a cake or a stack of pastries at the centre of an afternoon tea
- Use it on the kitchen bench to keep fruit or a loaf up off the counter
- Style it as a small display, a candle and a stem, when it is not in use
- Pair it with more pieces from our trays and cake stands
Stylist's Tip Let the timber top show. A plain cake or a few loose stems looks lovelier here than a crowded plate, since the worn white and the warm wood are already doing the work.
Care & Keeping
Wipe with a soft, barely damp cloth and dry straight away. For anything wet or sticky, sit a plate or a piece of baking paper on the timber top. Keep it indoors and away from damp so the finish holds. The worn, chipped look is intended and part of the charm, so there is no need to touch it up. An occasional rub of food-safe oil will keep the timber looking its best.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the white meant to look worn?
Yes. The distressed finish is applied on purpose, rubbed back in places for an aged, French farmhouse look. The little chips and marks are part of the style, not damage.
What is it made of?
A natural timber top with a metal gallery band and pedestal. The metal carries the distressed white finish and the timber is left in its warm natural tone.
How big is it?
About 30 cm across and 30 cm tall, a good size for a cake or a generous display without taking over the table.
Can I put a cake straight on the top?
Yes, on the timber top. For anything wet or sticky, use a plate or a sheet of baking paper so the wood stays in good condition.
Are the cake and tea things included?
No. Everything styled around the stand is there to set the scene. You receive the cake stand only.
Because Violette is finished by hand, the timber grain and the distressing vary from piece to piece, so no two are exactly alike. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
