Project No. EP081 - ‘Jackson’

An exquisite example of this increasingly hard-to-find sideboard/drinks cabinet/media storage unit/turntable stand, dating from the 1970’s and designed by the hugely desirable British furniture manufacturer, ‘Nathan’. Extensively restored, it also features an exclusively designed, hand-painted ‘drip’ motif to the drop-down door, modelled on the late 1940’s-era work of Jackson Pollock. Real 23.5 carat gold gilded handles and a useful compact, wireless, motion activated LED light complete the look, each element combining to achieve a beautiful piece of multifunctional, contemporary furniture, with classic mid-20th century aesthetics, and a uniquely designed piece of usable art:

- The carcass and legs have been cleaned of years of polish and completely stripped of its original varnish to reveal a beautiful teak grain. This has been fully sanded to remove signs of wear, and replenished with a hardwearing wax oil, affording excellent durability for years to come. The beautiful shaped brass handles have been treated to fresh coat of shimmering 23.5 carat ‘Superior’ gilt gold leaf, and lacquered for added protection.

- Internally, the mahogany-lined cabinet sections have been cleaned, sanded, and oiled with hemp oil bringing a ‘like new’ lustre to the 50+ year old timber. The drop-down Formica-lined door to the left has been completely transformed with a gold metal leaf base and black and white enamel paint drips, dried and sealed with layers of lacquer and coats of protecting wax oil. A passive infared LED light is fitted above via a magnetic strip with manual ‘on’, ‘off’ or ‘auto’ (motion sensing) functionality. These elements mean this left-hand section works perfectly as a drinks preparation or storage space.

- The right-hand shelved space and three drawers have again been cleaned, sanded, and hemp oiled internally. The top drawer has three divided sections and features a hand-crafted ‘EP' wax seal badge.

Condition: all of the furniture we offer for sale is vintage or antique and has enjoyed a previous life. Whilst professionally refinished/restored, some minor or discreet signs of wear may remain which we strongly feel only serve to add to the provenance and history of the pieces. Any notable damage will always be highlighted within the description for each item, but should you need any more detail relating to condition, feel free to contact us.

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 24th March 2025

We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.

However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.

To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.

Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.

Can I cancel an order?

There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.

If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.

Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.

Can I return an order?

We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.

The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).

You can return your order if...

It isn't what you expected

If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.

You change your mind

If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.

It's damaged in transit

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.

If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.

What can't I return?

Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.

Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.

Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.

I'm eligible for a return. Now what?

To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.

How will I receive my refund?

Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.

All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
