"VICTOR" is a vintage steamer wardrobe trunk turned cocktail/drinks/wine bar. The piece is over 100 years old designed by the Victor Luggage Company. It was made during the 1920s, a period when steamer trunks were commonly produced.
Steamer trunks were first made in the late 1870s, but the majority were produced between the 1880s and 1920s. They were named after their storage location in the cabin of a steamboat.
I have lovingly restored this item and found a modern, practical use for it - as a wine, cocktail and drinks bar! Whether you are a wine connoisseur, a cocktail bar expert or simply want a unique bar for your space, this piece perfectly fits all decor.
Since chests and trunks date to Medieval times, we don't flatter ourselves that we have the only one that's ever-held libations-but ours is certainly the most ingeniously outfitted and easily transported! On the outside, our vintage style, stateroom wardrobe steamer trunk is wrapped in a replica William Morris "Strawberry Thief" decoupage then fitted with 6 wheels on ball bearing casters so that it can be easily wheeled out for your parties and functions. On the inside, the cabinet opens to reveal a full-sized, double-sided bar. One half boasts a fixed art deco style wine rack which can house 11 bottles of wine, a bottom deep and tall shelf suitable to house large bottles of spirits and 3 original drawers suitable for holding linens, barware, snacks, napkins ect. The top drawer has an attached vintage bird bottle opener on decorative ribbon to ensure that this never gets lost. The facing section is outfitted with a solid oak, waney edge, fold out shelf so you have plenty of space to mix those cocktails! There is another fitted shelf at the bottom suitable for holding more wine, beer, cans or other bottles of your choice. To complete the look, you'll find a sensor operated light to give the piece that extra WOW factor!
I have finished off the top of the trunk with a bluey green, gold and white marble effect resin pour making this yet ANOTHER surface where you can rest your glasses!
This functional work of furniture art is easily stored out of the way and moved to the forefront when friends land in your port called Happy Hour. A stunning piece!

Dimensions of the cabinet are as follows:

Height: 104cm
Width: 104cm (when fully opened)
Depth: 41cm

If you like this piece but it is not exactly what you're looking for in terms of colour and design, did you know that I also offer a custom service? So, if you have a special piece you'd love to restyle, or would prefer this piece in a different design, please send me a message today. I am also able to source steamer trunks for you if you are looking for a particular design (although please note that these are hard to come by).

As this is a vintage piece and I have tried to keep as many original features as possible, this item may show some minor signs of its' age.

"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".

Beautiful Chair

I wanted a bit more of a statement piece for the alcove in my dining room and instantly loved the fabric on this restored chair. It looks great and something different to what’s available in a furniture store. Customer service and delivery was great too and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Upcite to friends and family. I’ll certainly keep an eye out for other pieces that become available that will look great in my home.

Beautiful ottoman

Here is the ottoman in its new place - I said to Julie that its photo didn’t really do it justice - its absolutely lovely.

I would LIKE to be able to say that every purchase I make is dominated by deciding what's best for the environment.
However, to be honest it's more the individual artistry that goes into it that makes it a special unique piece of furniture. You simply cannot buy that new. Unless I suppose you commission an individual piece, in which case the astronomical price would put me off.
I was trawling for sideboards several months ago and one just jumped out screaming "buy me!" I did and I absolutely love it. I bought a beautiful trunk from her as well.
So now I will always see what upcycled beauties are available before buying new.

Purchased 3 large bookcases

I honestly was so delighted with finally getting hold of this beautiful piece which I had set my eyes on for sometime now! The communication with the seller was outstanding, he was so engaged in securing the assembly and delivery happens. Honestly, UPCITE was a great experience for me with your few emails checking is all fine. Very spot on for this type of items. The only leaa pleasant experience was the delivery team themselves, not the courier company; they damaged some paint on my walls, on the bookcase. Perhaps the packing could also be more secured at the edges as discussed with Gabriel.

Please continue the great work, much appreciated.
