Pair of French Vintage Painted Beech 'Normandy' Bedside Tables

A Charming Story from the Heart of France

Discovered in a wonderful home in Normandy, France—sourced directly from a lovely couple who were downsizing—this exquisite pair of French bedside tables instantly won us over.

Originally finished in stained Beech we have given them a complete artistic makeover while respecting their authentic heritage. Painted using three careful layers of Annie Sloan French White and Anthracite Grey, the finish has been hand-distressed and knocked back to artfully reveal the deep, warm tones of the original dark wood underneath. The result is a beautifully textured, rustic finish full of romance and depth.
