A quietly brilliant thing, sourced in Sweden and dating to the 1800s. Square, compact, and slightly stubborn in stance, this Allmoge table wears its life openly. Layer upon layer of paint – ochre yellow, chalky blue, deep rust red – has been applied, worn back, reapplied, and worn again, creating a surface that feels more accumulated than decorated. Nothing here is contrived; the patina is the result of years of use, hands, spills, light, and indifference.
The single drawer sits neatly beneath the top, plain and practical, its interior left bare and honest. Legs taper gently, grounding the table with a rural directness typical of Swedish folk furniture – made to work hard, then keep going.
Each side tells a slightly different story as colours break through unpredictably, making the piece effectively unique. It’s the kind of table that doesn’t ask to be restored. It has already arrived exactly where it needs to be.
Dimensions: 78 × 78 × 51 cm
