Its gently curved front introduces a sense of movement and softness, while the overall proportions remain light and architectural. The table is fitted with a shaped faux slate top, carefully painted to convincingly simulate the texture and tonal variation of aged stone. This darker surface provides contrast against the pale body, grounding the piece visually while adding a touch of understated drama. Below, the apron incorporates two small drawers, each finished with simple ring pulls, offering practical storage without disrupting the clean lines of the design. The table stands on slender, tapering legs, contributing to its graceful stance and allowing it to sit comfortably within both traditional and more contemporary interiors. Finished in White’s Antiques’ Specialist Antique White Distressed Finish, the surface displays subtle tonal variation, gentle wear, and carefully layered ageing, giving the piece depth, warmth, and character while remaining calm and understated.
