For lovers of mid-century modern furniture, this Stag Cantata teak double chest of drawers is an exceptional find. Dating back to the 1960s, this vintage STAG Teak Chest of Drawers showcases the timeless craftsmanship of Stag Furniture, a British brand renowned for its high-quality, stylish, and functional designs. With clean lines, warm teak tones, and practical storage, this piece embodies the essence of Scandinavian-inspired mid-century design, making it a fantastic addition to any retro, vintage, or modern interior.

Quality & Condition

This original Stag Cantata chest of drawers is in good used condition, with all eight drawers smoothly sliding on their runners. Constructed with dovetail joints, the drawers offer durability and longevity, ensuring this classic piece remains functional and stylish for years to come. The interiors are clean and tidy, ideal for storing clothing, accessories, or household essentials.

To preserve its authentic character, we have cleaned and applied a natural beeswax polish to the exterior surfaces. However, we have left the original finish untouched, meaning there are some signs of wear and tear consistent with age and use.

The handles show light wear, but they remain structurally sound.
The drawer fronts have minor superficial marks, but nothing significant to detract from the overall appearance.
The top surface has some scuffs and marks, typical of a piece of this age—please refer to the photos for a detailed look.

Overall, this mid-century STAG Teak Chest of Drawers is in well-preserved condition, retaining its rich patina and character while remaining fully functional.

A Brief History of Stag Furniture:

Early Years:

Founded in 1906 as the "Stag Cabinet Company" in Nottinghamshire, England, by Cyril Alstead and Leonard Levy, the company initially focused on high-quality wooden furniture. 

Post-War Modernism:
In the 1950s and 1960s, under the leadership of John Birkett, Stag Furniture embraced modernist design trends, offering sleek and minimalist furniture pieces.

John and Sylvia Reid:
The brand gained significant popularity after employing husband and wife designers, John and Sylvia Reid,      who designed the "Cantata" range, a minimalistic bedroom suite, and later the "Madrigal" and "S" ranges.

Seller Reviews

    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.
