Refurbished Barley Twist Side Table with Cane Shelf
Viridian Eclection
The Furniture
A vintage side table refurbished to preserve its original character while raising its presence for a modern interior. The frame, once finished in a worn and uneven brown, now carries a smooth satin Viridian finish that reads the architectural form without overpowering it.
The tabletop veneer was carefully sanded and revived with a dark walnut gloss, restoring depth and clarity to the grain while keeping the integrity of the original surface. The result is a rich, dimensional top set deliberately against the painted frame, a balance of warmth and structure.
Classic barley twist legs anchor the table visually, while the woven cane lower shelf adds texture and lightness. The original brass hardware has been retained, including the brass pull on the single drawer, a subtle accent that ties the piece back to its vintage origins.
History & Provenance
The table is vintage and its exact maker is unknown. It carries no cabinetmaker's mark, so the attribution rests on idiom and construction, principally the barley twist turned legs, the woven cane lower shelf and the single drawer with its original brass pull, all conventions of traditional occasional furniture.
The restoration is recent and documented. The painted surfaces were professionally sanded, refinished and sealed in satin Viridian, and the veneer top was revived with a dark walnut gloss. The original brass hardware was kept rather than replaced, so the surviving vintage components remain with the piece and the intervention is limited to the finish.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
The piece bridges vintage craftsmanship and contemporary color without strain. Its compact size makes it useful as a side table, a lamp table or an accent piece, and the cane shelf offers storage without visual weight.
The contrast between the restored walnut and the Viridian finish gives the table a tailored, intentional look that reads as curated rather than recreated. It sits comfortably in traditional and eclectic rooms alike.
It was selected for its construction and character, then finished to extend its life without erasing its history.

All antique and vintage items are sold as described and all sales are final. Each listing includes detailed condition notes and photographs so you can make a fully informed decision. We encourage buyers to ask questions — about condition, dimensions, finish, provenance — before purchasing.
Antiques are irreplaceable and one-of-a-kind. Carrier handling is outside our control once a piece has left our facility, and major carriers including FedEx do not insure antiques. We do everything within our power to ensure safe transit, but cannot accept liability for carrier damage. If damage occurs in transit, we will provide full documentation to support your carrier claim.
