Natural wood grain meets modern elegance
This beautifully reimagined chest of drawers has been given a refined new lease on life, balancing its original natural timber character with a clean, contemporary update.
The solid wood drawer fronts display striking organic grain variation and warm tonal shifts, each panel unique and full of natural movement. In contrast, the outer frame, originally encased in wood-grained board, has been painted and sealed in a soft, natural-toned dark cream, creating a calm, understated backdrop that allows the timber to take centre stage
The piece is finished with new, stylish gold handles, adding a touch of modern glamour without overpowering the organic beauty of the wood. The combination of subtly curved drawer fronts, crisp lines, and updated hardware makes this piece feel both timeless and current.
Fully refreshed and sealed, the chest presents in great condition, offering generous, practical storage - perfect for bedrooms, dressing rooms, or any space that could use a functional yet elegant statement piece.
A harmonious blend of vintage warmth and modern sophistication.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item/s description. Although every effort is made to refurbish our furniture to represent its original state best, it must be noted that most of the items we source date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. For this reason, and although restored, signs of their vintage condition & age might still be visible. We will normally point out any visible/notable concerns. Take note of all photos or view the item in-store prior to purchasing.

As with many Mid-Century pieces, this item features a thoughtful combination of solid wood and high-quality wood veneer. Veneer has a long and respected tradition in furniture making, valued for both its aesthetic and structural benefits. When crafted with skill and applied in substantial thickness, vintage veneer proves highly durable, allowing for careful restoration, including retouching, sanding, and refinishing without compromising the integrity of the piece.
