Lloyd Loom Bedside Tables and Cabinets

Lloyd Loom Bedside Tables and Cabinets

Lloyd Loom bedside tables and cabinets add a vintage look to your home's decor. The intricate loomed and woven style of a Lloyd Loom bedside cabinet adds texture to your interior's design. Vintage or antique Lloyd Loom bedside tables or cabinets have distinct features associated with the Lloyd Loom construction.

A genuine Lloyd Loom bedside table or cabinet has a unique construction. While the look of a Lloyd Loom bedside table or cabinet may be similar to woven rattan, Lloyd Loom furniture is constructed with machine woven materials, not natural wood or rattan. The woven material used to make Lloyd Loom bedside tables and cabinets features tightly wrapped kraft paper that is woven or loomed into large sheets. The supporting vertical pieces within the loomed sheet feature a steel wire core for stability. One way to ascertain if a cabinet is a genuine Lloyd Loom bedside cabinet is to test by placing a magnet on the vertical parts of the weave. The magnet will be attracted to the steel wire core.

While many antique or vintage Lloyd Loom bedside tables and cabinets have been repainted over time, original Lloyd Loom bedside tables or cabinets were painted in one of three classic Lloyd Loom colours: pink, gold, or green.

Lloyd Loom bedside tables and cabinets all feature the unique wrapped kraft paper construction. This woven construction differs from rattan in that rattan is a natural wood with variations in colour, width, and texture. Rattan woven furniture may thus have variations in colour and appearance instead of a uniform look. Rattan woven furniture also may be rough in texture and can potentially have slight splintering and cracks that can create snags in fabric.

Lloyd Loom bedside tables and cabinets feature a uniform appearance of the weave due to the machine woven sheets of material used to construct the table or cabinet. Additionally, the weave is smooth to touch with no roughness that can be irritating or damaging. Most Lloyd Loom bedside tables or cabinets were originally painted in the signature Lloyd Loom colours and protected with a clear coat for additional protection.

Older Lloyd Loom bedside tables or cabinets featured a bentwood frame. Newer Lloyd Loom bedside tables or cabinets feature a beechwood frame.
