Collection and Viewing
This is a beautiful piece of furniture and I am confident the person, who purchases it, will be happy. However, I believe it important to view on collection, to ensure absolute satisfaction, if possible. If the buyer prefers, I can arrange delivery and will look at the most economical option based on location. Most likely this will be via Upcyite.
This beautiful sideboard has been carefully and lovingly restored, and upcycled giving it more than a new lease of life. The painstakingly added transfers and finishing techniques (see notes below) have created a unique piece of furniture that will generate interest and add a warm feel to whichever room it sits in.
The sideboard features three drawers in the centre, and is flanked by two cupboards with fixed shelves and beautiful curved doors. Although some refer to Art Deco as the influence for this piece, the floral design, is more akin to a Queen Anne label. Either way, it is a great sideboard.
The body sits on and is supported by Cabriole style legs. The top has a shapely plinth with an appliqué in the centre and comes with vintage handles.

About this Unique piece
Restoring and upcycling this item took a fair bit of time and effort, and was done with love and care. Initially cleaned with white lightening, the sideboard was then scuff sanded. Then two coats of ZINSSER B-I-N SHELLAC were added to seal the surface, ahead of painting.
A unique mix of Upper Canada and Picket Fence Fusion Mineral Paint were then combined to achieve the light green foundation. Next the ‘Iron Orchid Designs’ transfers were added. These transfers are delicate and more difficult to place, but the finished effect is worth the effort. Stencilling to the ends of the sideboard and the inside of the doors, complete the piece
Finally the sideboard surface was sealed with fine quality varnish.
Finishing touches; the drawer and cupboard handles are vintage and were chosen to compliment the graphics

Absolutely gorgeous blanket box with a beautiful professional finish. Every detail was thought out. Delighted.
old gold glass topped bedside table
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
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
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".
