The shorter half of the pair, a Corinthian capital topped with a fir plank at side-table height, ready beside a chair or sofa.
Alice is a side table built on a cast Corinthian capital, the acanthus leaves and corner volutes of a classical column, finished in a chalky antique white with the texture of weathered plaster. A fir timber top and a matching base ring close it off top and bottom.
It stands 47.5cm tall with a 55 by 25cm top, the height of a side or lamp table. Set it beside a sofa or an armchair, and let the capital read as sculpture while the timber top holds a drink or a book.
Why we love it
◆A capital at sitting height, the full Corinthian capital works as a low side table, the architectural-salvage look brought down beside the sofa.
◆Cast magnesia, chalky white, the rough antique-white finish reads like aged plaster or stone from an old building.
◆A working side table, the fir timber top gives a flat surface for a lamp or a cup, not just something to look at.
◆Half of a matching pair, Alice is the shorter side table, with the taller Pauline as a console from the same capital for a layered look.

How to style it
A few ways to use Alice:
Top it with a lamp, a vase, or a small stack of books.
Pair it with the taller Pauline console for a stepped, matching set.
Stylist's Tip
Keep it low and close to a seat so the capital sits near eye level when you do. A short stack of books and one small object is all it needs.
Care & Keeping
Dust the capital with a soft dry brush to reach the recesses, and wipe the timber top with a barely damp cloth. The magnesia finish can chip on a hard knock, so move it by the base. Keep it indoors and out of damp.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it go outside?
It is best kept indoors. The magnesia and its chalky finish can mark and soften in damp, and the timber top is not sealed for weather.
What style does it suit?
French Provincial, French country, and classical interiors, and it holds up as a statement piece in a more pared-back room too.
How tall is it, and what can I use it for?
47.5cm tall with a 55 by 25cm top, side-table height. It works as a sofa-side or bedside table, a lamp table, or a low display stand.
Do Alice and Pauline come as a set?
They are sold individually. Alice is the shorter side table and Pauline is the taller console, made from the same capital to sit together if you would like both.
Will mine look like the photo?
Each piece is hand-finished, so the depth of the antique-white wash and the texture vary. Small chips or rough patches are part of the salvaged look, not faults.
Because Alice is hand-finished, the antique-white wash, surface texture, and tone vary from piece to piece and add to the character of each one. The fir top carries its own grain. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.

I have never been a clock-watcher, but all that changed with Maude. I can't stop looking at her. Out of the box, slip in an AA battery and on to the wall, just like that! She is simply gorgeous.
This is a present for my horse loving daughter in law. I'm sure it will take pride of place on her mantle piece. Again I love this Web site which I will be visiting often.
Found this beautiful elegant Swan for my garden online via a search at Chateau Living. A great price, quality and excellent ordering and delivery. Would definitely purchase from this business again. They have such a beautiful variety of products.
It was my testing the waters first purchase to check out this new store & what’s on offer. I loved the idea of supplying cast iron cute animal figurines as they’re practical, good looking, solid durable material, great rust finish (no need to buy expensive rust effect paint). Just ready to weather and brings a smile on your dial. I placed my frog with his hands up as if in religious praying gesture next to the concrete funny sign scored at Vinnies reading: grant me patience Lord but hurry - I believe the praying frog and the sign go comically together. I’m thinking of getting the other frog too in its hilarious pose possibly in green patina for contrast. I can confirm it’s heavy cast iron with attractive rust patina. These casts fill the gap in the market dominated by laser cut cortina steel offerings. Just something old school different and complimentary to your garden /house decor. Pleased it’s introduced to Australian market and once for change not made in China… but in France known for its cast iron tradition. We own 18th century French anvil won at an antique auction which is our proud possession so happy to score more in heavy casts.
This may not show on the store website that well but they’re actually old gold colour. It’s lightweight thin metal so perhaps inside or sheltered outdoor space would suit them the best as it may rust out & some fragile parts of the tail break exposed to the weather. They’re as large as described, cleverly designed for packaging - legs are separate with tightening screw. They make an impact due to their size & fit almost any decor with the colour & style.
I was so happy with Chateau Living. Brilliant customer service & speedy delivery. How lucky we are to have an Australian option giving us all these beautiful items for our homes. Highly recommend
I bought this piece as I could see it in my mind's eye having an suspended impact with my high end Brazilian quartz crystal display. Such a well made piece, sturdy and if I didn't know better, from another time. I am planning a candle holder from Chateau Living to complete this display, just having trouble deciding from the elegant range they have available. Very pleased :) Who would have thought you could combine Brazil with French Provincial so perfectly.
