This beautiful pair of vintage wooden wall shelves has been carefully hand painted in a soft muted blue with a distressed finish that perfectly captures a rustic French country cottage feel. Dating from the late 20th century, these shelves have a timeless design featuring a shaped cornice top, elegant turned column supports at either side of the upper section, and three fixed shelves providing versatile display and storage space. Each shelf offers ample room for arranging spice jars, crockery, ornaments, or collectibles, making them highly practical additions to a kitchen, dining room, bathroom, or hallway.
The painted surfaces have been intentionally distressed to reveal glimpses of the underlying wood along edges and corners, lending them an authentic aged patina and a warm character that suits both traditional and eclectic interiors. As shown in the photos, there are areas where the paint has worn through slightly more prominently, adding to the vintage look without compromising the structural integrity. The pair remains sturdy and solid overall with no loose joints or major damage. There are slits to the top of the shelves for the purposes of displaying plates etc
These shelves can be wall-mounted easily using the existing brackets at the back. Whether used to showcase herbs and spices, display treasured ceramics, or store toiletries and towels in a country bathroom, they will bring instant rustic charm and functionality to any space. The pale blue colour pairs beautifully with natural wood finishes, neutral walls, and other shabby chic furnishings.
However, please note, the painter did not paint the undersides of the shelves, but unless they are hung very high on your wall, this will not notice.
Overall, this pair is in good vintage condition with attractive wear commensurate with age and use. They are ready to hang and enjoy straight away and would make a delightful feature in any cottage, farmhouse, or vintage-inspired home.
Please refer to the photographs for a closer look at the details and view the overall condition. Feel free to message with any questions.
