Restored Black & Teak Vintage Furniture by Belton & Bumble
A professionally restored mid-century teak chest of drawers by Belton & Bumble, expertly blending iconic 1960s design with bold contemporary contrast. The body has been refinished in jet black enamel, while the original teak drawer fronts and top have been carefully preserved — creating a striking black-and-wood statement piece for modern UK interiors.
Thoughtfully upcycled in the UK, this one-of-a-kind chest celebrates sustainable craftsmanship while maintaining the elegance and simplicity of mid-century modern design.
Professionally Restored Mid-Century Modern Furniture
This authentic mid-century chest has been refinished in Wise Owl One Hour Enamel “Jet Black”, a furniture-grade enamel chosen for its smooth, durable finish. The deep black body enhances the natural warmth and character of the teak surfaces, highlighting the rich grain and original tones.
The teak drawer fronts and top have been carefully restored and sealed with satin hard wax oil, protecting the wood while enriching its colour and depth for years to come.
Classic mid-century features include:
• Clean architectural lines
• Elegant tapered legs
• Original shaped metal handles
• Warm teak grain contrast against the black body
Every Belton & Bumble restoration is individually finished, ensuring a unique, boutique-quality piece that combines timeless style with contemporary flair.
Quality Craftsmanship & Practical Storage
Each solid wood drawer is constructed with traditional dovetail joints and solid bases, reflecting the craftsmanship expected from vintage 1960s furniture. Interiors have been conditioned with premium furniture salve, leaving a subtle fresh citrus scent while ensuring smooth operation.
