This is exactly why I love vintage furniture.
There’s something about a piece like this that you just can’t recreate with something brand new.
This lovely antique oak chest has been carefully cleaned and refinished, allowing the beautiful natural grain and warm tones of the timber to really shine.
I particularly love the figuring across the front of the drawers, the brass cup handles and those simple tapered legs. Little details that give an old piece its character.
Rather than changing it completely, the aim here was simply to give the timber a new lease of life while keeping the character that made me love the piece in the first place.
Would you have kept this one natural too, or would you have painted it? 🌳🎨
