Description
Pairing the classic look of wood with the comfort of a fabric seat, the Althorp cross back dining chair brings together the best of both worlds. Sure to see you through many a meal and all kinds of colour schemes, it is solidly built and finished in fresh white. Filled with foam, the seat provides ample cushioning for long sittings, whilst the high back with cross slat detailing supplies plenty of support. Combine with the Althorp dining table for perfect cohesion.
Our Stylist Says
I love this cross-back dining chair for its classic yet versatile design. Its simple white finish makes it easy to pair with a variety of interiors, from rustic farmhouse kitchens to more contemporary dining schemes. The cross-back adds a subtle design detail that lends an element of charm, while the upholstered seat offers comfort for extended family dinners. Styling tips include layering with textured or patterned cushions for a cosy touch, or pairing with a wooden or marble table for a balanced contrast. It works particularly well in casual or family-friendly settings, but can also dress up with elegant tableware for more formal occasions. Overall, it’s a reliable piece that combines functionality with understated style.

A Remarkable Journey
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
Sustainability at the Forefront
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Innovative Spaces and Expanding Horizons
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
