<div dir="auto">Bespoke Antique Drawer Island Unit.</div>
<div dir="auto">A superb bespoke kitchen island unit, newly made around a collection of original antique drawers, combining the character of period furniture with the practicality of a purpose-built island.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">The unit is painted in a deep traditional distressed black, with 12 original drawers arranged across the front, each retaining its individual aged character and original-style brass knob.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">The ends are finished with attractive fielded and moulded panels, giving the island a particularly smart country-house appearance.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">The island is topped with a substantial solid reclaimed and repurposed oak worktop, then left in its natural finish to show off the beautiful oak grain.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">A generous open shelf runs around the base, providing useful additional storage and display space.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">The combination of genuine antique drawers, newly constructed cabinetry and a quality oak top makes this a particularly versatile piece — equally suited to a large country kitchen, farmhouse, utility room, boot room or as a striking freestanding storage island.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">A unique piece of bespoke furniture with the character of antique drawers and the practicality of a modern kitchen island.</div>
</div>

<div dir="auto">1600 x 825 x 905 high</div>
<div dir="auto">170 mm overhang for stools.</div>
</div>

<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">The restoration on every item is huge.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">This box was bought in gloss paint and the restoration goes as follows....</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">1, We strip the box in an acid bath called caustic soda that removes all the paint.</div>
<div dir="auto">The acid bath is hot so it gives a nice colour once stripped. A cold bath is no good and makes the pine go very grey.</div>
<div dir="auto">The temperature is very important depending on the items paint, varnish or stain... Two hot and it cooks it and drawers would fall apart and twist the pine... Too cold and it won't remove the paint and go grey .. medium temperature is just perfect.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">2, The item is then pressure washed to remove the acid and excess caustic.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">3, Then all items are naturally air dried on breezy warm sunny days. This can't be rushed as if it is or dried using false heat from heaters the item will not shine once waxed and caustic white residue appears through the wax once it arrives in a centrally heated home.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">4, All wood work is completed, reattach any beadings, plinths, piece a missing section from old pine or remake a bit of a drawer runner. This box needed no woodwork.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">5, The item is then sanded in 120 or 150 grit sandpaper till nice and smooth.</div>
<div dir="auto">The unit won't sand if it is not completely dry or the wood will not go smooth.</div>
<div dir="auto">We don't over sand as this will remove the nice Victorian colour from the stripping.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">6, Everything is then covered with lots white vinegar that naturalizes any remainder or caustic soda acid.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">7, Air dried again after the white vinegar.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">8, A light hand sand / pad off.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">9, Then the items are ready for waxing.</div>
<div dir="auto">This is done by hand using Briwax medium brown p7. Depending on the shade more coast can be added if required.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">Not every item is a 5 minute job and can take a while to get the best restored Victorian pine items to sell.</div>
</div>
<div class="x14z9mp xat24cr x1lziwak x1vvkbs xtlvy1s x126k92a">
<div dir="auto">We have over 70 boxes stripped and air drying and new ones getting finished each week. With chest of drawers, benches, linen presses and more always in a rotation of restoration we might just have the item you've always been looking for.</div>
