Sometimes, decorating a single table can require more time and materials than traditional setups. However, it is always worth the effort!

Console table: a piece that seems to preserve the history of many generations
Tina Grishina | crafter
The table may seem ordinary at first glance - just a simple, unremarkable white piece of furniture. However, its history is rich with events. Upon closer inspection, one can see scuffs that appear to be the traces of centuries of use. The table has been repainted multiple times, as indicated by the multilayer chipping and cracks. The crackle patterns reveal the paint's longevity before it occasionally cracks. The dust has accumulated in the corners and joints. Imagine how beautiful ceramic vases and live flowers will look on this table! But don't worry, the table is actually completely new. It's all just an illusion created by the master...
This table evokes the feeling of spring with its lightness, airiness, and romantic vibes. Even though it looks vintage, it's absolutely brand new and made of solid wood with reliable joints. It includes a spacious drawer on ball guides and an additional shelf for storage at the bottom.
Meticulously handcrafted from solid poplar and pine, this console table is a distinguished example of artisan craftsmanship. Its surface is thoughtfully aged by hand using layered patinas in forest greens and earthy tones, evoking the quiet elegance of a woodland retreat.
The spacious drawer is lined with opulent fabric featuring a refined leaf motif, while the front panel is inlaid with an authentic William Morris textile — carefully embedded into the wood for a seamless, tactile finish.
Whimsical frog princesses grace the sides, surrounded by intricate scrollwork and playful ornamental flourishes. The tabletop is protected with oil and multiple coats of polyurethane, then sealed with lacquer to ensure lasting durability.
This table is signed by the artist and exists as a singular work — no replicas, no copies. A true collector’s piece.
