About the Piece:

This retro chest of Harris Lebus drawers has been lovingly re-imagined with some African flair, ready for its new forever home. This piece dates to the late 1960s originally.

The body and splayed legs have been painted using Bunyt's Paints in the shade Bewitched which is a beautiful navy blue colour. The drawer fronts have been decoupaged using Nigerian Anningtex waxed fabric which was bought from Zimbabwe. It has a beautiful pattern on it with pops of orange to contrast against the blue. The entire chest has been coated with Polyvine Decorators Varnish in Satin for a contemporary feel and for added protection and durability.

The original brass drawer handles have been given a watercolour effect with gold paint.

There are four drawers in the chest that graduate in depth, with the bottom two drawers being deeper than the top two.

The combination of the eye-catching African fabric, and dark blue paint colours will add a modern, contemporary feel to any room.

FINAL NOTE

All my work is refinished with care and attention to detail using good quality materials and furniture paints. I source quality pieces of furniture and bring them back to life in unique and creative ways.

As with all pre-loved furniture, they may show evidence of their past life with the occasional dent or imperfection. Major imperfections are always addressed and repaired to a high standard, but I believe small marks tell the story of the piece's history and add to its charm. As this item is hand-painted and hand-finished, it may also show faint brush marks, imperfections and texture, which I hope you agree adds to the uniqueness and character of the piece. Please also note that due to lighting, colours may vary slightly from those in the photos. Please kindly keep this in mind during your purchase.

I’ve provided as much information as I can, but do get in touch with me if you have any further questions about this lovely vintage piece.

Commissions:
If you love this item of furniture but would like it in a different colour or design, then please do get in touch with me to discuss our commission process. I am able to source specific pieces of furniture to your requirements and work with you to create a bespoke and beautiful design for your space.

"The sideboard is stunning, thank you. Looks perfect in my flat. As if it was meant to be there".

"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".

Beautiful Chair

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.

Beautiful ottoman

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.

Purchased 3 large bookcases

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.
