Northern China Console Table - Dark Walnut

Northern China Console Table - Dark Walnut | Online8 New Zealand

Roughly 80 years in the making — this console is crafted from genuine old elm finished in weathered dark walnut, timber with decades of real service behind it. Built long at 1800mm, it draws on authentic heritage design, with period-appropriate metal hardware and proportions that anchor a wide hallway. The weathering is not applied for effect; it is simply what old elm looks like, so grain and character differ from one table to the next.

Why It Stands Apart

• Reclaimed Timber (~80 years old): genuinely aged old elm with weathering that highlights the natural grain.
• Heritage Design: authentic proportions and detailing rather than a modern piece styled to look old.
• Substantial 1800mm Span: one of the longer consoles we stock, a real anchor for a wide hallway.
• Metal Handles: period-appropriate hardware that suits the timber's age.
• One of a Kind: natural grain, knots and weathering make every piece unique.

Frequently Asked Questions

How old is the timber?
The console is made from genuine reclaimed old elm that is roughly 80 years old, so grain, knots and weathering vary from piece to piece — those marks are the material's history, not defects.

Will every table look the same?
No — old elm carries its own grain, knots and weathering from decades of prior use, making each table individual.

How do I care for old elm?
Dust with a soft dry cloth and keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight. Wipe spills promptly rather than letting them sit on the surface.
