Price History
Description
Stonyhurst College was founded in 1593 and remains one of the UK’s most prestigious boarding schools. An adaptation of the Ampleforth collection, Stonyhurst similarly transforms Timothy Oulton’s travel-inspired trunks into functional furniture. While preserving all the hallmarks of traditional craftsmanship in its construction and detailing, the collection experiments with a range of innovative finishes including the celebrated Spitfire finish. Unlike the Ampleforth, the Stonyhurst does not include a lift-up lid. All leather finishes, all come with wooden banding.
Our Stylist Says
The Timothy Oulton Stonyhurst Large Side Table is a great statement piece that adds a touch of vintage character to both traditional and eclectic interiors. I love its robust craftsmanship and the rich, antique whiskey finish which brings warmth and depth to a space. It works particularly well in rooms with classic or industrial aesthetics, where its rugged charm can shine. For styling tips, consider pairing it with leather armchairs or a patterned rug for a layered look. Practicality-wise, its multiple drawers are perfect for stowing away cosy accessories or essentials, making it both attractive and functional in living rooms or lounges. Overall, this piece is a versatile addition that can ground a space while adding a sense of history and craftsmanship.

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.
