The Fairford Side Table — Dark Oak — CharlesTed Home
The Fairford in near-ebony dark oak — the same turned pedestal, the same cabriole legs, an entirely different presence in a room.
The dark oak finish transforms the Fairford's character entirely — where the cerused version is pale, airy and fresh, this near-ebony finish gives the table a depth and drama that makes the turned column and cabriole legs read as genuinely sculptural. The grain of the oak is still clearly visible through the dark finish, preventing the piece from reading as painted black and preserving the warmth of the timber beneath. Beside a cream linen sofa, a natural jute rug or a stone fireplace, the dark Fairford provides the contrasting anchor that a neutral room needs to feel finished.
What sets it apart
The detail that makes it different
Dark finishes reveal turned work more dramatically than pale ones — the shadows that fall between the knop, the shaft and the base of the column are deeper and more defined in dark oak, making the craftsmanship of the turning more visible and more impressive from across a room. The cabriole legs read as architectural elements in this finish rather than decorative ones, giving the Fairford a grounded, confident presence that works equally beside a contemporary sofa and in a more traditional setting. The same considered pedestal form, the same 50cm round top — at a completely different point on the tonal spectrum.
Also available in cerused oak — the same form in a pale, limed finish for a lighter, fresher character.
