Beautiful vintage Harris Lebus chest with two large deep draws has been a joy to breathe new life back into so it can continue to do the job it was built for in the 1940’s, they don’t make them like this anymore and this is a wonderful example of the product.
I have used a bold rich colour palette; the external body of the draws has been painted using Annie Sloan chalk paint in the colour Aubusson Blue. The draw fronts have a tropical jungle vibe and this has been continued on the body with highlights of gold gilding wax. The original handles have been cleaned and gold gilding wax has been added and buffed back with clear wax to soften the finish. The internal draws have been treated with a couple of coats of Hemp Oil to rejuvenate them.

"I don’t like to match furniture and love mish mash, quirky and odd looking things lol. I absolutely love them. My house is 203 years old and is grade II listed. I think it makes an old cottage come alive and puts a modern twist on it. I love furniture that tells a story or gets people talking at a house party".
Customer Reviews
I wanted a bit more of a statement piece for the alcove in my dining room and instantly loved the fabric on this restored chair. It looks great and something different to what’s available in a furniture store. Customer service and delivery was great too and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Upcite to friends and family. I’ll certainly keep an eye out for other pieces that become available that will look great in my home.
Here is the ottoman in its new place - I said to Julie that its photo didn’t really do it justice - its absolutely lovely.
I would LIKE to be able to say that every purchase I make is dominated by deciding what's best for the environment.
However, to be honest it's more the individual artistry that goes into it that makes it a special unique piece of furniture. You simply cannot buy that new. Unless I suppose you commission an individual piece, in which case the astronomical price would put me off.
I was trawling for sideboards several months ago and one just jumped out screaming "buy me!" I did and I absolutely love it. I bought a beautiful trunk from her as well.
So now I will always see what upcycled beauties are available before buying new.
I honestly was so delighted with finally getting hold of this beautiful piece which I had set my eyes on for sometime now! The communication with the seller was outstanding, he was so engaged in securing the assembly and delivery happens. Honestly, UPCITE was a great experience for me with your few emails checking is all fine. Very spot on for this type of items. The only leaa pleasant experience was the delivery team themselves, not the courier company; they damaged some paint on my walls, on the bookcase. Perhaps the packing could also be more secured at the edges as discussed with Gabriel.
Please continue the great work, much appreciated.
Very happy with sideboard
