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.

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.

"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".

Very happy with item

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.

Item is nice but experience wasn't great

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.
