Ouma’s Pantry Cupboard
Ouma’s Pantry is the perfect addition to a modern kitchen where you want to ground a contemporary design with a thoughtful, functional, and practical solid wood pantry cupboard made for real living. Bring a bit of the farm back into the city with a piece that combines modern kitchen storage with traditional design.
The door is designed with dowel shelving for condiments, so oils, spices, and everyday essentials have a proper place, not just stacked somewhere inside. Inside, everything is visible and easy to reach with generous pantry storage shelves. At the bottom, a ventilated vegetable drawer with compartments (so you can divide your onions from your potatoes), along with a slatted base and slatted door, allows for natural storage of onions, potatoes, and everyday produce, the way it used to be done.
There’s a shift happening in homes. Less sterile, less perfect. More honest materials, more pieces that actually do something. This is one of those pieces.
At Vintage-etc, we create custom furniture in South Africa to create homes with soul. If ever there was a piece that does that, it’s Ouma’s Pantry, a freestanding wooden pantry cabinet that is as functional as it is beautiful.

Wood Types & Finishes
We offer a range of timber and finish options including Oak, Ash, Reclaimed Oregon, Iroko and Teak. As wood is a natural material, variation in grain, tone, texture and movement is normal and forms part of the character of each piece.
Oak and Ash are best suited to indoor or covered areas, while hardwoods such as Iroko and Teak are recommended for harsher environments or outdoor use. Reclaimed Oregon offers a more aged, character-rich finish with natural variation between batches.

Outdoor Use
Oak, Oregon, Ash, and similar woods are not designed for prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, rain, or harsh outdoor conditions. If you intend to use any of these woods in a exposed outdoor area, or in a sunny conservatory, braai room, or near a fireplace, please contact us before purchasing so we can advise on a suitable timber for your environment. Wood is hygroscopic, meaning it expands when it dries out, this is completely normal. It is the client's responsiblity to choose the right wood type for your specific site.
Custom Sizing
All our pieces are made to order, and most pieces can be customised. Standard size options are reflected in the product dimensions but if you need something outside of those, get in touch and we'll asses the requirements and work up a tailored quotation if suitable.
Shipping & Estimates
Delivery is quoted separately with reliable operators that deliver nationwide. This allows us to get the most accurate rate from our couriers based on the final size, weight, and your location. Once items are paid for, they belong to the client and clients can elect to insure their own furniture in transit.
Pricing Notes
All prices shown are guide prices. Because we work with raw timber and steel that fluctuates in cost, your final price is confirmed at the time of order. We always aim to honour published pricing and will communicate any variance upfront before proceeding with approval.
NATURAL TIMBER CHARACTERISTICS
Solid and reclaimed timber is a natural material, no two pieces are identical. Expect variation in grain, tone, and texture, and minor characteristics such as knots, hairline cracks, or colour shifts. These are not defects; they are what makes each piece unique. Timber also moves slightly with changes in temperature and humidity, which may occasionally affect drawers or doors. This is normal and expected behaviour. Please note, we are Vintage-etc, each item is hand made by a small team, you can expect hand finished detials, and slighltly varied finishes from item to item, its part of our charm. We are not about cookie cutter perfection, we create homes with soul.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Keep furniture away from direct sunlight, heaters, and air conditioning vents, pizze ovens and braais. Clean with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water. Use coasters, placemats, and trivets to protect surfaces from heat and moisture. To recondition, lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper and apply a quality oil finish such as Pro Nature. For routine upkeep, a natural beeswax works well and is available from Takealot, Builders Warehouse, or MICA. Dispose of oil-soaked cloths in water after use as some finishing oils are flammable when dry.
LEAD TIMES
Our current lead time 30-40 days from confirmed order and cleared payment. This can vary during peak seasons and volumes affect lead times. We'll always give you a clear timeline when your order is placed and keep you updated throughout.
