Cotswold Scalloped Console Table: 160cm Wide, Wavy Apron, Panel Legs, Rustic Wood Effect
By Furniture1002 min read
The Cotswold is the soft one among our long consoles: 160cm of rustic wood-effect with a wavy scalloped apron and substantial panel legs. Where the Hoxton is industrial and hard-edged, the Cotswold is farmhouse and rounded, and it is the table for a country hall or the back of a big sofa in a room that wants warmth.
What it is
A wide rectangular console in a natural rustic wood-effect finish, with visible grain, knots and subtle distressing built into the surface. Under the top runs a scalloped apron cut in a soft wave, and the table stands on substantial panel legs rather than posts. The product page states 160cm wide, 30cm deep and 82cm high.
Who it suits
A long wall in a house with character. The scalloped apron is the detail, and it reads as cottage, farmhouse or modern rustic depending on what you put on it. The panel legs make it look grounded rather than spindly, which suits a big hall.
At 160cm it wants a pair of lamps rather than one, and it is deep enough at 30cm for a bowl and a vase without projecting into the walkway.
Cotswold or Hoxton
Both are long rustic consoles. The Hoxton is 180cm with a matte black stepped frame and reads as industrial. The Cotswold is 160cm, all wood-effect, and reads as farmhouse. Choose on the room: black metal elsewhere, the Hoxton; painted walls and oak floors, the Cotswold.
Living with it
A damp cloth. The distressing is the finish, not damage, so do not try to sand it out.

Frequently asked questions
How big is the Cotswold?
The product page states 160cm wide, 30cm deep and 82cm high. It is a long console; measure the wall and allow clear space at either end.
What is the scalloped apron?
The band of wood under the tabletop, cut in a soft wave along its length rather than a straight line. It is what softens a big rectangular table and gives it its character.
Is it real reclaimed wood?
No. The finish is a rustic wood-effect with visible grain, knots and subtle distressing built into it. It gives the look without the weight, the cost or the splinters, and we say wood-effect rather than wood.
Where does it work best?
A long hallway, an entrance space, or behind a sofa. The 30cm depth keeps it flat to the wall and the panel legs give it a grounded, architectural stance.
What goes on it?
The page suggests a lamp, a vase, books and framed photographs. At 160cm it takes a pair of lamps, one at each end, which our table lamp guide covers.
