A wonderfully unusual and highly decorative one-of-a-kind occasional table, imaginatively constructed using a collection of vintage wooden Indian exercise clubs. With its beautifully sculptural silhouette, warm aged timber and wonderfully eccentric design, this is a truly individual piece of furniture, full of character, creativity and originality.
The table has been cleverly scratch-built using four upright Indian clubs to form its distinctive legs, with their beautifully turned, bulbous ends extending above the tabletop to create unusual decorative finials. Two further clubs are positioned diagonally beneath the top, adding a wonderfully architectural element to the design, while gently curved wooden stretchers complete the construction. The combination of exaggerated turned shapes, simple joinery and beautifully aged timber gives the table an almost folk-art quality.
The Indian clubs themselves are believed to be antique or vintage, originally used as exercise equipment before being imaginatively repurposed into this charming little table. Their wonderfully varied timber tones, attractive grain patterns and rich patina are particularly appealing, giving the piece a real sense of history. Although its exact origins are unknown, the table has clearly been created with a wonderful eye for unusual design and decorative detail.
– Lovely Vintage Condition –
Presented in lovely vintage condition, with a wonderfully aged appearance and plenty of authentic character. The timber displays an attractive collection of marks, small scuffs, scratches and variations in colour and finish, all consistent with the age and previous use of the individual components. These have been retained to preserve the table's wonderfully rustic, timeworn appearance. Please take a close look through all photographs, as these form an important part of the description and show its unusual construction and character in greater detail.
Perfect as a small occasional table, bedside table or decorative display piece, this wonderfully individual creation would look fabulous in an eclectic living room, hallway or characterful interior. Its compact proportions make it particularly versatile, while its unusual construction and sculptural form ensure it will be a real talking point wherever it is placed.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need.

We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
