Full Description
This vintage painted timber-stave tub table is a striking example of reclaimed craftsmanship meeting artistic expression. Constructed from solid hardwood staves arranged in a barrel-inspired form, the table features a sculptural, faceted body that draws the eye from every angle.
Each piece has been hand-painted in bold, time-worn hues—ranging from deeper blues and reds to vibrant mixed tones—then naturally distressed through age and use. The resulting surface tells a story of wear, layering, and authenticity that simply cannot be replicated.
The rimmed tabletop provides a practical surface for displaying art, sculpture, or books, while the solid base ensures stability. Its compact proportions make it highly versatile, whether positioned beside a sofa, placed in a reading nook, or used as a statement accent in a contemporary interior.
Blending mid-century charm, reclaimed materials, and artisan flair, this tub table brings warmth, originality, and visual interest to modern, eclectic, and curated living spaces. A true one-of-a-kind piece with personality in abundance.
