Vintage Chest of Drawers, Designed Around You

Give a vintage piece a new chapter in your home. This slim vintage tallboy chest of drawers is ready for customisation, offering five drawers of practical storage and the opportunity to create a finish that feels entirely yours.

Its warm teak veneer, contrasting pale drawer fronts and circular metal ring-pull handles give it a distinctive mid century modern appearance. A clean rectangular frame and short tapered legs complement its tall, narrow shape. The exact maker and production date are unconfirmed.

Whether your bedroom interior needs a quiet accent or a bold design, this chest provides a characterful starting point for a bespoke furniture commission.

Your Colours, Your Pattern, Your Custom Design

Imagine a painted chest of drawers in deep blue, rich green or a soft neutral, finished with a decorative design chosen for your room. Botanical prints, Japanese-inspired imagery, geometric motifs or expressive abstract patterns can give this tallboy a completely different presence.

Its stacked drawer fronts offer space for a flowing decoupage composition or individually framed details. We can discuss how to balance colour, pattern and the existing handles, creating a piece that works with your wallpaper, textiles and favourite objects.

Current Vintage Condition

The photographs show the chest before customisation. Existing wear includes scratches and scuffs on the pale drawer fronts, with chips and wear around the top and frame, particularly the lower right-hand edge. Preparation and repairs will be discussed as part of your agreed refinishing specification.

This is an existing vintage piece, so small age-related characteristics may remain after its transformation.

Five Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this chest already painted and ready for delivery?

No. It is shown in its current vintage condition, ready for a bespoke transformation. If you would prefer to buy it as it is, please enquire about availability and a separate purchase price.

Yes. Bring your ideas or ask for guidance. We can explore a restrained painted finish or a more expressive combination of paint and decoupage, adapting the design to this tallboy’s proportions.
