Description
A VERY ATTRACTIVE, MID - LATE 20th CENTURY, CARVED OAK, CHEST OF SIX DRAWERS, OF EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY AND CONDITION. THIS FABULOUS 'STRESSED OAK' CHEST WAS HAND-MADE BY 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS'. THE 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS' WORKSHOP / SHOWROOM IS BASED AT THE OLD CHEESE FACTORY GRANGEMILL, DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND. EACH ITEM OF FURNITURE IS INDIVIDUALLY CRAFTED, WITH 'HAND CUT' DOVETAILS AND IS PLANED, SANDED, CARVED, STAINED AND POLISHED ALL BY HAND. THE CHEST OF DRAWERS IS CONSTRUCTED USING TRADITIONAL METHODS AND ONLY THE VERY BEST QUALITY FINISHES AND SOLID OAK TIMBER ARE USED THROUGH-OUT, INCLUDING THE BACK, BASE, SIDES AND ALL THE INTERIOR LININGS OF EACH PIECE OF FURNITURE. THE CHEST OF DRAWERS HAS ATTRACTIVE OAK-WOOD GRAINING THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD SIT NICELY WITH OTHER MATCHING ITEMS OF 'GRIFFITHS', 'MONASTIC', HAND-MADE, SOLID OAK FURNITURE. IT IS A RICH MEDIUM - DARK OAK IN COLOUR AND HAS AN EXCELLENT ALL ROUND FINISH. IT ALSO TAKES ON A DELIBERATE 'STRESSED', AGED APPEARANCE AND HAS RUSTIC 'STRESS' MARKS THROUGH-OUT. THE CHEST HAS A SPACIOUS FLAT TOP WITH VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH. THE 'OVER-SAILING' TOP ALSO HAS 'STRAIGHT CUT' EDGES, WITH 'CUT-OUT' CARVED DECORATION TO THE FACE AND SIDES. THERE ARE THREE LARGE DRAWERS BELOW, WHICH PROVIDE VERY USEFUL STORAGE SPACE. THEY ALL HAVE 'HAND-CARVED' 'EYEBROW' HANDLES AND ATTRACTIVE 'FLUTED' MOTIF CARVING TO THEIR FRONTS. THERE ARE THREE MORE DRAWERS AT THE BASE OF THE CHEST, TWO SMALL DRAWERS ABOVE A LARGE FULL LENGTH DRAWER AT THE BOTTOM. THEY HAVE 'PLAIN-CUT' SOLID OAK FRONTS AND THEY RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'CHOP-CARVED', 'RING-TURNED', OAK KNOBS. THE DRAWER SIDES, EDGES AND RUNNERS HAVE ALL BEEN WAXED TO ELIMINATE WEAR, STICKING DRAWERS AND UNNECESSARY DAMAGE. THE CHEST ALSO HAS SOLID OAK, SIDE PANELS WITH VISIBLE PEGGED END JOINTS AND IT IS RAISED UPON SUBSTANTIAL, CARVED OAK, 'PAW' FEET, WITH A BEADED BORDER ABOVE. THE CHEST FRAME-WORK ALSO HAS VISIBLE PEGGED JOINTS THROUGH-OUT, FOR ADDITIONAL STRENGTH AND SUPPORT. THIS SUPERIOR QUALITY, 'NIGEL GRIFFITHS', 'HAND-CRAFTED', SOLID, CARVED OAK, CHEST OF SIX DRAWERS HAS BEEN CLEANED AND RE-POLISHED. IT IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION THROUGH-OUT AND WOULD BE A VERY USEFUL AND ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO ANY HOME!

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.
