Bella

CUSTOMIZABLE VINTAGE BAKER CHEST OF DRAWERS

Bella may be petite, but don’t let that fool you — she’s pure Baker pedigree. Built with the kind of craftsmanship you only get from the iconic Baker Furniture Co., she’s a rare West Coast find and proud of it. With clean faux bamboo framing, classic Asian-inspired pulls, and a silhouette that leans just modern enough, Bella walks the line between timeless and trend-forward. Subtle chinoiserie at its finest.

She’s a bit of a blank canvas— structurally solid, beautifully proportioned, and just waiting for a splash of color and perhaps updated hardware. Whether you picture her in emerald green with burnished brass or soft coral with lucite, she’s game for a glow-up.

Rescued and ready to be re-dressed! Just pick your color and we'll do the rest!

Baker Furniture Company

Originally founded in 1890 by immigrant Siebe Baker from the Netherlands, Baker Furniture originally produced interior woodwork and doors in Allegan, Michigan.  Soon after starting the company they started to produce furniture. His son Hollis S. Baker joined the family business in 1910, eventually becoming President in 1961. Baker Furniture has partnered with many important designers over the decades. Their pieces are still highly sought after today, representing various design movements, modernism, art deco, chinoiserie, dutch modern, english, french provincial, just to name a few.

We specialize in high gloss lacquer. We use a waterbased industrial wood lacquer coating, and every layer of primer, color and top coat is catalyzed. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care. 

Our lacquer finish is catalyzed (2k) at every coat. It is a very durable finish and will endure for decades with proper care. We recommend dusting often and using coasters and protective felt feet on pointed objects. 


For cleaning greasy finger prints or dirty smudges, this is the product we use for the "final finish". It is waterbased and will not react with our finish. Do not substitute with a solvent-based finishing spray.  We recommend both the Meguiars Final Finish and these microfiber cloths.

Do not use any cleansers with ammonia or other harsh chemicals, it will dull the finish.

Good to know

Waterbased 2k Lacquer

We use a waterbased 2k (catalyzed) lacquer. That means we add a catalyst material to our primer, color and top coat with every coat we spray. This catalyst speeds up dry time and produces a much harder and durable surface. A 2k finish is defined as having a catalyst added. A 1k or pre-cat does not have a catalyst added to each coat.

Catalyzed or 2k lacquers are tricky and hard to do. Application is only through professional spray equipment. It dries in a very short amount of time, which also risks damage to the equipment if you don’t time it right. We believe though, the risk is definitely worth the gorgeous outcome!

Finish Options

Our water-based 2k lacquer is available in matte, satin or a high gloss finish. Color options are endless. We often use swatch books from known brands such as Benjamin Moore, Sherwin Williams, Curator or Farrow & Ball. We also have the ability to match to anything you can imagine, apparel, wallpaper, even a napkin. If you find a color you want for a piece, let us know and we can find you a match.
