Ariette French Provincial Wall Shelf, Carved Apron Whitewash 60cm

A mid-size shelf with a limewashed timber top and a chalky scrolled apron, the middle of three matching sizes.

Ariette is a wall shelf with a whitewashed fir timber top and a deep scrolled apron running along the front in chalky white. The apron is moulded in a carved fretwork design, and a turned spindle drops at each end like a small finial. At 60cm wide it is the middle of three matching sizes.

Hang it as a display ledge in an entry, over a bed, or along a hallway. The flat top takes a couple of small frames, a stack of books and a candle, while the carved apron gives it the look of an old painted bracket shelf. Run all three sizes together for a stepped wall, or use Ariette on its own as a neat in-between.

Why we love it

• ◆ Limewashed timber and chalky white, a warm fir top over a soft white apron.
• ◆ Scrolled carved-look apron, deep fretwork that reads like an old salvaged pelmet.
• ◆ Middle of three, 60cm across, the versatile in-between size that anchors a vignette or bridges the set.
• ◆ Turned spindle ends, little finial drops that finish each corner.

How to style it

Ariette is a display ledge, not a storage shelf. A few ways:

• Set a candle and a small object or two along the top near your other shelves
• Hang all three sizes in a stepped cluster for a feature wall
• Mount it over a console or bed as a slim ledge
• Pair it with a wall piece above for a layered vignette

Care & Keeping

Dust with a soft dry cloth. Keep Ariette indoors and out of damp, the timber and painted apron are not sealed for wet areas. You will need screws and wall plugs suited to your wall type to hang it, ideally into a stud or solid anchor. It is made as a light display ledge, so keep the load modest rather than using it for storage.

Because Ariette is hand-finished, slight variations in paint wear, tone and grain are natural and add to the character of each piece. Colour may also vary slightly between screens, all photography is taken in natural light.
