Art Deco-Style Gilt Metal “Apollo” Console Table with Literary Decoupage, 2022

An inspired fusion of architectural elegance and literary romance, this custom “Apollo” console table by Hastening Designs (2022) reinterprets the sleek sophistication of Art Deco through a highly personal lens. Its refined figure, with crisp geometric lines and perfectly balanced proportions, is rendered in gilt metal with a subtly distressed, antique-finish patina; evoking the quiet glamour of a well-traveled salon!

The pièce de résistance lies in the tabletop: a meticulously hand-decoupaged collage of original vintage pages from Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. Preserved beneath a smooth lacquer surface, the text and typography invite an intimate pause. Each glance reveals a fragment of beloved narrative, its charm amplified by the gentle warmth of age.

A statement of intellect and style, the “Apollo” serves equally well as an entryway focal point, a chic hallway console, or a gallery-worthy accent for a collector’s study. Marrying timeless design with a singular storytelling element, this piece is destined to spark conversation and admiration!
