Vintage Charm: Bring some calm and glamour into your life with these gorgeous upcycled Stag bedside tables, just perfect for your home.
This charming pair of bedsides are from the ever-popular Stag Minstrel Range, synonymous with quality and craftsmanship. The Minstrel range was first introduced in 1964 as a result of a collaboration between Stag and designers John and Sylvia Reid. It was as popular then as it is today making it possibly one of the best-selling bedroom furniture ranges of all time.
Made from the rich and exotic Makore or African Cherry in a combination of both solid wood and veneered facades, these practical and elegant pieces were craftsman-made and certainly built to last. These bedside tables, known affectionately as ‘Leggy” (but I much prefer “slender” or “elegant”), are today highly desirable. They are not only practical and sustainable but they ooze sophistication and those much-loved mid-century vibes. 
I chose a rich teal blue for these bedside tables, giving them a serene modern touch. The tops and drawers feature a circular-themed geometric pattern stencilled in liquid gold leaf, adding a touch of luxury while honouring the era of the piece. The original round hardware, painted in gold, ties the design together seamlessly.
This neutral colour palette works with so many colour schemes and will add a sense of calm, elegance and well-being to your restful sanctuary. Each table measures 44 cm wide, 31.5 cm deep, and 57.5 cm high, making them the perfect addition to your bedroom.
Inside, each table drawer reveals a delightful surprise – painted and decoupaged with a complementary paper featuring floral blooms, it's these little details that truly elevate these pieces. Just imagine them placed on either side of your bed, with a lovely lamp, casting a soft light. The bed, dressed with a sumptuous duvet, lots of pillows, and perhaps a throw in a colour echoing that beautiful decoupage paper.
 
However you style them, it’s clear these bedside tables are more than just furniture; they are a testament to functionality, sustainable living, and the joy of upcycling.

AFTERCARE
All my pieces come with a complimentary care pack. Your purchase will be securely wrapped and ready for its journey to your home. Your beautiful bedside tables will be delivered by our trusted and fully insured furniture courier and will arrive safely with you on a mutually agreed date. PLEASE NOTE, this is a one-person delivery service to your doorstep. If you would prefer to collect your furniture in person, I will be happy to help you with loading it into your vehicle.
WHY CHOOSE VINTAGE
Deciding to invest in a vintage piece of furniture is a fantastic choice in helping to save the environment. It also allows you to create a unique, and stylish interior design statement. Vintage furniture can tell a story that no modern piece ever can – Old is the New New, giving a nod to the past and a smile to the future.
At Godfrey’s Ear my ethos is to respect the character of the piece while always delivering a structurally sound and fully functioning item of furniture. These are vintage pieces that have been meticulously restyled but may show some signs of their long life, these minor imperfections only add to the piece's history and story.
A great deal of care and attention goes into every refurbishment I undertake and my finishing techniques and attention to detail are of the highest standard to ensure you will enjoy your furniture for many years to come.

Timeless Furniture LTD UK (Wrexham) - thank you! Highly recommended.

This is the second time we've bought off Upcite and will always return. This time around, we bought a Victorian Mahogany Chest Of Drawers (£429 including P&P) from Timeless Furniture LTD UK. We contacted Timeless Furniture (Wrexham) through the messages section and they (Dave) were super helpful in confirming P&P will be covered their end but also went out of their way to coat the chest of drawers with another round of woodworm treatment, which was much appreciated. The drawers had been treated before but Dave offered to do it again to allay our concerns. So, once they confirmed this we punched it. The drawers then arrived via courier about a week later and packed very well, arriving in one piece and no damage. Highly recommend Upcite and Timeless Furniture LTD UK. Pete

Nest of tables

The nest of tables are very tastefully done, they are the final piece of furniture in our living room and we're very happy with them. Comms with J&M were great and the tables were packaged very well so arrived in perfect condition. We will definitely buy from UpCite and J&M again when we next need a beautiful piece of furniture. Many thanks

Happy with my cabinet

An absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind vintage cabinet, lovingly restored by Julie and Mark, whose craftsmanship and attention to detail really shine through. The delivery process, unfortunately, didn’t go to plan, with damage caused by the courier, but both Cole at Upcite and Julie and Mark were incredibly supportive throughout. They pushed to have the piece properly repaired and kept me updated the whole way. Thanks to their persistence and care, the cabinet looks just as gorgeous in my home as I’d hoped. A true statement piece

"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".
