Upcycled from an early 20th Century writing desk, this unique piece has been carefully cleaned, repaired and enhanced with owl and forest decoupage, original artwork, gold leaf, resin moulds and multi-layer paint. There are 3 good sized drawers with original metal handles. The claw and ball carved feet have been enhanced with gold leaf, as has the top drawer, which has also been given a 3d bark effect. The support brackets extend as the top is opened. All surfaces have been protected by a satin varnish.
Please note that most of my pieces are rescued from landfill and whilst I clean, repair and prep all pieces before upcycling, some signs of ageing and wear and tear cannot be fixed - I like to think these imperfections add to the character of the pieces.

"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
Received my sideboard and absolutely delighted with it. Goes amazing in my hallway. Great service and would recommend.
We found this really good website called Upcite where we saw lots of different and unusual furniture. We were after something oldie looking to go under the eaves in our little snug room that has oak beams. This needed to be a specific size and look. Soo pleased when we found the Upcite website with a range of possibilities. We ordered a sideboard and it arrived within a few days and fits perfectly. It now looks lovely with it’s Christmas Garland on! From our experience we would recommend Upcite to others.
I did eventually receive the sideboard after a lot of back and forth, and the seller reached out to me. It arrived with a few scratches but that’s not the sellers fault and can be touched up. The experience however was rather stressful. I wish the seller had been as proactive from the start and not only after I complained, as it is simply nerve wrecking to spend close to £1000 and then never really hear from them and having to chase them repeatedly and the item not being delivered when it was agreed. Overall I am happy with the sideboard, but my experience wasn’t great and that’s how I genuinely feel.
Love our piece we got from your website.
I love my set of drawers. Jacqui Barnes
