Vintage Chippy Heath telephone seat / hallway bench made in the 1960s. In very good condition, this piece has been professionally restyled and reupholstered to create a bold and genuinely unique piece. It has a wide, padded seat - perfect to sit in whilst putting on shoes - and a small cupboard space that is accessed via a drop down door. The pull-out shelf with a wipeable surface is typical of Chippy telephone seats. 
Made from teak, this compact and practical piece would look fabulous in any hallway or room. The padded seat has been reupholstered using a cotton rich upholstery fabric with a vibrant retro print. The wood, sanded back and oiled/waxed to bring out the beauty of the wood. The legs and frame have been painted using a water based satin paint colour matched to Farrow & Ball Railings, whilst the sides of the cupboard have been painted using a soft green (Farrow & Ball Treren). These colours compliment the natural wood and give the piece a more contemporary look. 
This is a vintage piece that has already put in circa 50 years of loyal service. Whilst it’s ready to take on the next half century in style, it may show some minor signs of wear - that said it is in very good condition inside and out.

Custom chest of drawers from Wendy

We love the piece Wendy has created for us. We went to her house to collect it on Sunday morning. She has done a great job on it and it works perfectly in the space for which it was intended. I've sent you a text message with the photo.

So, a huge thank you to you for connecting us back up with her. Thanks to you we have a beautiful chest that we love. She told us the story of the courier theft - there's some horrible people in the world.

It was great to meet her and to see some of her other work too.

Thanks for all your help.

"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".
