Antique wheel hub Side Table | Myrtle

Antique wheel hub Side Table | Myrtle

The Myrtle Antique Wheel Hub Side Table is a remarkable statement piece, handcrafted from an original antique wooden wheel hub that has been thoughtfully repurposed into a unique occasional table. Rich in history and character, every table bears the weathered grain, natural cracks and beautifully aged patina that only decades of use can create, making each one a genuine one-of-a-kind.

Once an essential part of a traditional cart wheel, the solid timber hub has been given a new purpose while preserving the craftsmanship and authenticity of the original piece. Its sculptural form and tactile texture celebrate the beauty of antique wood, bringing warmth, depth and quiet character to both contemporary and period interiors.

Perfect beside an armchair with a favourite book and a cup of coffee, styled as a bedside table, or used as a distinctive accent table in a hallway or living room, the Myrtle offers endless versatility. Its compact proportions and substantial form allow it to make a striking impression without overwhelming a space.

Each table tells a different story. Historic mortice openings, weathered surfaces, age-old splits and subtle variations in colour are all part of its authentic charm. These natural characteristics are celebrated rather than concealed, ensuring every Myrtle side table is entirely individual.

Crafted from Antique Timber

Every Myrtle table begins life as an original antique wheel hub, carefully selected for its exceptional character and structural integrity. Years of use have created a rich patina, deeply textured grain and naturally weathered finish that simply cannot be recreated.

Historic tool marks, natural splits, old mortice joints and colour variation are all part of the timber’s story. These are not imperfections but treasured reminders of the table’s previous life, giving every piece a unique identity.

Materials & Construction

The Myrtle is crafted from an original antique solid timber wheel hub that has been carefully restored and repurposed into a practical side table while preserving its authentic character. Each piece retains the original construction, ensuring no two tables are ever alike.

As an antique item, variations in grain, colour, historic repairs, natural movement and surface texture should all be expected and appreciated as part of its individuality.

Styling Inspiration

The Myrtle looks particularly beautiful beside a linen armchair topped with a ceramic lamp, or styled with a large artisan vase, a scented candle and a carefully chosen stack of books. Its sculptural form makes it equally striking standing alone in an entrance hall or paired with other natural materials to create a calm, layered interior inspired by relaxed country living.

Please note - our Marlow showroom does not contain our full inventory and therefore some items are not displayed in-store.

Our articles in oak, birch and pine are made of untreated, natural wood.

They may therefore have knots or holes and naturally grown characteristics.

It is not possible to dry the wood down to the core, which may lead to some cracking over time.

Also the wood mushrooms are hand cut out of fresh, untreated wood.

By using fresh wood over time drying cracks may appear. They give the mushrooms their particular characteristics and can therefore be no reason for complaint.

We recommend installing the articles in well-ventilated areas and providing for proper air circulation under and above the columns.

This is a handmade item. Variations in texture, colour and pattern are to be expected.
