Full Description
This reclaimed vintage painted tub table is rich in personality, colour, and tactile appeal. Constructed from solid reclaimed hardwood staves, the form cleverly echoes that of a traditional barrel, reimagined with a playful, sculptural twist.
The table’s tiered profile rises elegantly from a narrow base to a generous circular top, creating a shape reminiscent of a beaker cup or chalice. Finished in a hand-painted blue surface, the paint has been deliberately distressed over time, revealing subtle layers beneath and lending the piece its perfectly worn-in, lived-with character.
Dating from the mid-century period, this table reflects the era’s experimentation with form, colour, and unconventional materials. It sits comfortably in modern, eclectic, artistic, or vintage-inspired interiors—bringing warmth, originality, and a sense of history into any room.
Whether styled beside a sofa, used as a bedside table, or displayed as a standalone sculptural accent, this tub table offers both function and expressive design. Two similar examples are available, allowing for paired styling or layered interiors with complementary character.

Styling Suggestions
Style this tub table alongside a linen sofa, a leather armchair, or beneath abstract artwork to highlight its colour and form. It works beautifully with layered textures—rugs, ceramics, and soft lighting—and pairs particularly well with other reclaimed or mid-century pieces for a curated, artistic interior.
