Many furniture shops supply rustic furniture – it is a very popular product in Europe in the 21st century and due to perception of traditional manufacturing process, is becoming more popular against modern designs. This is because modern furniture is perceived to be bland, mass produced, a little on the cheap side and not very interesting as pieces to look at due to the perception of a lack of individuality. A sense of the rustic adds not just a touch of the individual, but a sense of tradition and supporting grass roots producers who pride themselves on high quality.
The Old Wood Table
Rustic furniture products could include weathered wood, something that is a very popular option with shoppers looking for a touch of the authentic. An Old Wood Teak Table is made of high quality reclaimed wood and chosen for its weathered look – the planks used on the top are individual, having been taken from much older teak products (which will mean a unique table). They are perfect for country cottages or for those customers who prefer a traditional rather than a modern look to their kitchen. Because the wood is of the highest quality (Grade A), they are perfect to use as garden tables too. Naturally, the Old Wood teak table that gets a lot of use will acquire stains and spills over time. A simple soap and water solution is usually enough to clean it.
Brushed Teak Table
Furniture shops can offer you a Brushed Teak table option – this is another choice for those seeking a more rustic or traditional piece of furniture. Brushed teak tables have a rough look as the craftsmen use steel brushes to buff the piece, deliberately adding an aged and “beaten up” look. This can be done by hand or by machine and the traditional style has proven popular all over Europe.
Our brushed tables are simply our elegant straight table but with the rougher finish to appeal to the sort of shoppers who like an aged or rustic aesthetic. As Grade A teak is used in production, the steel brushes encourage the natural oils to the surface in the buffing process - adding a waxy look to the table. It also means that the tables are suitable for use in the garden.
Most of our tables are manufactured using reclaimed teak so will naturally have a rustic look about them.
