Price History
Description
Made using old wood up to a century-old, salvaged from the structural beams and pillar joists of buildings across the UK. The arduous process of reclamation starts at a demolition site, where precious sections are recovered. The timbers are sorted and de-nailed by hand, all the while preserving the natural surface, revived to once again support new lifestyles.
Our Stylist Says
I love this coffee table for its substantial, handcrafted feel, which brings a sense of solidity and artisanal craftsmanship to a space. The timber’s natural finish works beautifully in both contemporary and rustic interiors, providing warmth and texture without overwhelming the room. It’s perfect for more relaxed, laid-back interiors, especially in open-plan living areas, but can also serve as a striking statement piece in a more minimalist setting. Practical styling tips include pairing it with layered textiles and simple decorative accessories, like a stack of books or a vase of dried flowers, to enhance its natural character. Just be mindful of its weight and size when positioning, as it’s quite a chunky piece that anchors a room effectively.

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.
