Price History
Description
Named after the leafy town in Hampshire, the Overton has a light and sculptural quality that pays homage to the area’s history of modernist sculpture. Combining elegant craft and innovative engineering, this vast stretching dining table rests a beautiful walnut table top on a modern formed frame of angular aluminium.
Our Stylist Says
I often recommend the Overton table for its clean-lined walnut top and solid brass legs, which bring warmth and a subtle luxury to any dining or meeting space. Its generous 10-12-seater size makes it ideal for both family gatherings and more formal entertaining, while the slender profile of the brass trestles keeps the look light and uncluttered. Styling tip: pair it with leather-upholstered chairs or minimalist metal designs to play off the brushed brass finish. Keep centrepieces simple - a low ceramic planter or a couple of sculptural candleholders - so the beauty of the walnut surface and the architectural base remain the focal point. It works equally well in contemporary apartments, Scandi-inspired schemes or as a refined statement in a loft-style interior.

About Heal's
A Rich Legacy in Furniture Design
Heal's is a well-known British furniture store with a history that spans over 200 years. It began in 1810 when John Harris Heal and his son started a business for feather products but soon moved into furniture.
By the 1900s, almost everyone in London knew Heal's for its great furniture. Interestingly, they were also among the first to sell electric lights in Britain. During World War II, their main store even helped by making parachutes for soldiers.
Influences and Design Philosophy
A significant part of Heal's story is Sir Ambrose Heal, who worked there for 60 years, from 1893 to 1953. He had a unique idea combine the beautiful designs from the Arts and Crafts Movement with affordable manufacturing.
This meant more people could buy well-designed furniture without breaking the bank. If you visit the Heal's store on Tottenham Court Road in London, you'll see a cool spiral staircase and a statue of a bronze cat, both of which show off the company's unique style.
Modern Expansion and Growth
While Heal's has a long history, they're always looking forward. In 2001, a company named Wittington Investments bought Heal's, helping it to grow and open stores in many cities, including Manchester and Leeds.
They've also started selling products online, aiming to be a modern e-commerce store with physical showrooms. Their main Tottenham Court Road store celebrated 200 years in 2018. Recently, they revamped it, making it even better for shoppers.
