Audrey French Provincial Wall Shelf, Carved Apron Whitewash 40cm
30-day money back guarantee
Examples of Château Living
A petite shelf with a limewashed timber top and a chalky scrolled apron, the smallest of three matching sizes.
Audrey 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 40cm wide it is the smallest of three matching sizes.
Hang it as a little display ledge in a nook, beside a doorway, or stepped above the larger sizes. The top takes a single object or two, a candle, a small frame, a bud vase, 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 Audrey on its own where space is tight.
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.
- ◆ Smallest of three, 40cm across, the neat size for a nook, a narrow wall, or the top of a stepped set.
- ◆ Turned spindle ends, little finial drops that finish each corner.

How to style it
Audrey is a small display ledge, not a storage shelf. A few ways:
- Set a single candle or bud vase on top near your other shelves
- Hang all three sizes in a stepped cluster for a feature wall
- Tuck it into a narrow nook or beside a doorway where a wider shelf will not fit
- Pair it with a wall piece above for a layered vignette
Stylist's Tip Buy the trio and hang them stepped, widest to narrowest. Three of the same shelf in descending sizes makes a calm, collected wall without needing much on them.
Care & Keeping
Dust with a soft dry cloth. Keep Audrey 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get all three sizes?
No, this is the smallest at 40cm, sold on its own. The 80cm and 60cm sizes are listed separately, and the three look lovely stepped together.
How does it hang?
It mounts to the wall through the back. Use screws and wall plugs suited to your wall, into a stud or solid anchor where you can.
What can I put on it?
It is a small display ledge for light pieces, a candle, a bud vase or a little frame. Keep the load modest rather than using it for storage.
Is the apron carved timber?
The top and turned ends are fir timber. The scrolled apron is moulded MDF in a carved design and finished in chalky white, so it has the look of an old carved shelf.
Will mine look like the photos?
Close, not identical. The whitewash and chalky finish are applied by hand, so the wear varies a little from piece to piece.
Because Audrey 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.
