Description
Elegant and charming the Charente nest of tables makes a great addition to your home, perfect for smaller spaces and offers the perfect place for your cup of tea. Crafted from American Oak and finished with a chalk effect the Charente collection has a rustic and timeless feel. The smaller table also has a low shelf for additional storage or decorative items.
Our Stylist Says
I love this nest of tables because of its versatile, understated style that works well in both traditional and modern interiors. The chalk oak finish offers a light, neutral tone that can brighten up a space and adapt easily to various colour palettes. It’s perfect for adding extra surface area without cluttering, and it’s practical for use as side tables by the sofa or beside a bed. For styling tips, I recommend stacking books or placing a small houseplant on the top for a natural touch, while the lower shelf is ideal for storing petite decorative items or extra coasters. Its adaptable design makes it a great statement piece that seamlessly blends functionality with subtle charm.

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.
