A unique and beautifully finished Beautility drinks cabinet, guaranteed to make a statement.  This iconic cabinet is perfect for a household that enjoys throwing glamorous parties. Manufactured in the 1960s by renowned British furniture makers Beautility, this Art Deco-style cabinet has been stripped back, cleaned and refinished in a modern Art Deco style.
The cabinet top and cupboard fronts have been fully restored and oiled, highlighting the gorgeous walnut wood grain. The exterior has been hand-painted with a jewel-like teal-blue colour and decoupaged with a beautiful champagne gold Art Deco-inspired wallpaper. These areas have been finished in a satin varnish for added durability and protection. 
The interior of the cabinet has been painted with a beautiful shade of plum. The middle drop-down door reveals a lovely display area, ideal for serving drinks and cocktails. It retains all the original features with the mirrored back, small glass shelf and wonderful gold Art Deco stencilling along the bottom with gold striped Beautility design and logo. Inside the bar section, the original light fitting remains, which has been upgraded to an energy-efficient LED bulb and modern standard wiring and plug. The opening of the drop-down door triggers this internal light to come on. There are two cupboards on either side of the mini bar, which offer plenty of storage for your glassware. Each cupboard contains a shelf in the middle which has been covered in the same design wallpaper.
The handles have been cleaned, restored and touched up with gold. The two top drawers and bottom drawers have been lined inside with the same champagne wallpaper used on the external of the cabinet and one of the top drawers has a cutlery divider. The legs have been replaced with typical Mid-century style black tapered legs.
Each piece comes with its own touch-up kit and instructions on how to care for your furniture.

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 we 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.

"Fantastic website and customer service, cabinet as described and good quality, good value for money and regular communication contact from Upcite. The ethos behind the company is ethical and sustainable which is refreshing. Will definitely buy from this company again. Product furs in with our house restoration perfectly thank you".

"I was looking for a piece to stand next to a small ornate fireplace in our 1920’s build home and kept coming back to this lovely makeover, named ‘Grace’. I’m so delighted to have bought it. Mandy took time and care in delivering it and although she emphasised the fact it was an old piece I can only re-emphasise that that is exactly what I was looking for. It is testament to her skills that she has given ‘Grace’ a wonderful new lease of life. The stencilling on the drawers is top notch; the piece is painted beautifully - including the bits you wouldn’t normally see, which I prefer. The beautifully highlighted claw feet on the bottom of the piece are a real treat to look at, and my beady-eyed art tutor/’general expert on painted stuff’ agreed Mandys’ work is superb – sympathetic to the piece and to a high standard. I know I shall enjoy having Grace grace our home for many years".

"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".

"I am very pleased with the look and quality of the sideboard and enclose a photo of it in-situ in our hallway.  It fits perfectly.  Thank you for the extreme thoroughness of the packing (it must have taken ages, as it took me a long time to unpack) and it arrived intact. Just one little blip, the tape caught a tiny bit of paint on the bottom edge which came away, but I have been able to touch this in, so no problem with the overall look.
I also added some sensor lights inside to help identify the contents as the interior was dark.  They work a treat".

Drinks Cabinet

All is well with the cabinet and looks great. It's in storage for a while, the room is not ready as the house is under renovation but will be perfect and I think will be much-loved. Bringing a house and furniture to life is a rewarding combination.
Devivery driver was good too, reliable, caring and kept me informed

Victorian Mahogany Cross Banded Chest of Drawers

It is my partner’s favourite piece. We love antiques as they are very aesthetically pleasing – especially for an old house. You know also that, with old stuff they were built to last. I am very happy with experience. The drawers were well polished and packed with care. Delivery was easy as well as the 2 man’d service was a doddle. What’s more is you save pieces from landfill which is good for the environment.
