It is upholstered in distressed chenille fabric, known for its velvety finish and subtle tonal variations. The elegant legs enhance its classic charm, with the option to add castors for added flexibility. Perfect for adding a touch of luxury and style to any living space, the Quarry Armchair combines grace and comfort seamlessly.
Our Stylist Says
I’m a big fan of the Quarry chair for its smart mix of a soft, textured green front seat and an understated botanical print on the sides - it brings warmth without shouting. It sits equally well in a pared-back country scheme or a modern-classic living room, and its small brass casters make it surprisingly versatile if you like to rejig your layout. For styling, try it beside a dark-wood side table with a simple ceramic lamp, layer in a neutral wool throw and perhaps a small leather-strap basket for magazines. It also pairs nicely with muted terracotta pots or a knotty oak floor to enhance its natural charm.

About Barker and Stonehouse
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.
