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.

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".
