Materials and finishes
European oak
European oak is a temperate white oak hardwood native to Europe. It presents a golden to light brown hue with a minimal grain pattern. We use a protective white oil finish to allow the timber to age gracefully without heavy discolouration and withstand daily spillage.
European oak can display a variety of characteristics from straight grain to large swirling crown cut grain Medullary rays, small 'Cats paw' knots all of which are an intrinsic and natural part of the grain pattern.
Shown on the left is typical grain. Medullary rays is pictured in the middle, with Cat's paws on the right.
Care guide
Furniture with an oiled finish requires some low level maintenance to keep the wood protected and looking its best. Oil provides a semi-permeable finish, which means some liquids can penetrate the surface. To ensure the finish remains as resilient as possible to staining, it may require periodic intense care. We recommend Osmo - Liquid Wax Cleaner (clear 3029) for walnut pieces with clear oil finish and Osmo - Liquid Wax Cleaner (white 3087) for oak pieces with a white oil finish. Avoid placing furniture in direct sunlight or next to strong heat sources.
Day to day cleaning: Wipe clean with a damp non-abrasive cloth, then using a dry cloth remove any excess moisture. Wipe up wine, oil and any liquids that might stain as quickly as possible. It is important not to use any chemical cleaning products or bleach as this will remove the protective layer of oil. For daily use we recommend Osmo - Spray cleaner (8026). We also advise periodic use of Osmo - Wash & Care (8016) as it contains soaps and oils to both nourish and prevent the wood from drying out. This will also prolong the oil finish and maintain its resistance to stains.
Measuring for access
Measuring access for delivery
To help you make sure the piece you are ordering from us can be delivered safely into the space it will finally live, we have created the following document of what to consider.
If you do not feel confident in measuring your space for access - we would recommend having one of our delivery professionals perform an access check (where available). Please contact our team for more information.
Planning your delivery
When you place your order, please notify our team of any special requirements, such as the need for small trucks to navigate narrow roads and driveways, restricted delivery time frames, gated entry access, multiple flights of stairs or service elevator reservations.
Confirm all product dimensions
Our website provides width, depth and height for every piece of furniture.
Furniture width must be less than the height of any doorway, stairway or hallway that the item will need to pass through. Furniture depth must be less than the width of any relevant doorway, stairway or hallway.
Many pieces have detachable legs or in some cases detachable arms or bases etc to aid access, this information can be found on our website or on specification sheets.
How we measure furniture
Furniture is measured at the tallest, deepest and widest points of the product, including overhangs, angles, outward curves and arms.
Measuring the space where your furniture will live
Once you have decided where you intend to place your furniture check the width, depth and height of the item on our website, and make sure it will fit in the space you’ve chosen. Consider marking out the width and depth of your furniture on the floor with masking tape.
Measuring the path for delivery
Determine the best pathway from outside your home to the room where your furniture will be placed. Measure every doorway, elevator, staircase and hallway that the item will pass through. For apartment buildings or homes with elevators, it is important to measure the elevator interior height, elevator opening and distance to the opposite wall. Always measure entry clearances – the distance between the doorway and the opposite wall – in the event that the furniture needs to turn a corner. Compare these measurements to the dimensions of your new furniture to ensure that our delivery professionals can navigate through entryways and around obstacles such as radiators.
It is your responsibility to ensure that all furniture items will fit through any access points such as doorways, stairways, hallways, elevators and around corners into the desired location.
Note that our delivery professionals are not permitted to move furniture currently in your home, nor are they allowed to move or set up electrical equipment or remove doors from hinges! Before our delivery team arrives, please prepare your home:
• Clear a path, moving any furniture or artwork that’s in the way
• Secure low-hanging light fixtures
• Set rugs in place
• Confine pets to another room

Customise this design
This design can be made special order as a custom piece. As such we can vary the overall depth and length to suit your needs, whilst always ensuring the core of the design is respected.
No compromise
Dining tables have to work – hard. Our tables are made from solid timber which means they stand up to the daily grind and last a lifetime. We prefer a protective oil finish that will age gracefully without heavy discolouration, withstand daily spillage, and can also be sanded down and rescued when the worst happens and ‘someone’ leaves a hot pan on top. We source FSC and PEFC timber, and each table’s top planks are carefully selected and laid up to create not just a working surface, but also a tableau of the tree’s beauty and a testament to its long years of growth.
Considerate design
Our designs also need to work hard, and how our tables feel and work, as well as look, is thoroughly considered. The table should feel generous to its guests, and also inviting. The hand should wander to the table’s underside, the edge of the leg should not catch or bruise, and an extending table should store its leaves within, and be easy to reconfigure.
A shared passion
The people who make our pieces are also exceptional. We have a long, shared history with the workshop in Dorset. We share a mutual respect and trust. These makers take a huge pride in what they make for us. In our work the human hand is present from the crafting of the original model, through to the final sand and carefully applied oil.
