British furniture has long been known for its ability to age gracefully. Impeccable design, enormous attention to detail, and exceptional quality of materials have all been joined together to craft furniture which can stand the test of time and be handed down from generation to generation.
For me and indeed us all at Willow and Hall we believe traditional British furniture is designed to last with no compromises and no exceptions. It’s this quality and workmanship which means British furniture sits beautifully in any interior - from an overly-traditional grandma’s country house to a modern urban flat.
In our time of ‘fast-furniture’ (a certain blue-and-yellow company springs to mind amongst hundreds of others), products are built for next to nothing and last just a few years. However we know from our lovely customers that there are still many of you who appreciate old furniture-making values and traditions and the timeless design and quality which comes with it.
We do live in a fast-paced world but I reckon it’s worth waiting a little longer for some of the important things in life like a beautiful sofa that will live through years of wear-and-tear and who is a proud not just convenient addition to your home.
Below are some wonderful examples of how high quality, well designed furniture can work in any type of interior. Take the reading corner for example: I absolutely love the modestly patterned armchair which would look just in place in any similarly styled living room:

Or take for example the dark green/grey cupboard below by Minacciolo which the craftsmen say was inspired by a traditional British design and really stands out and creates a focal point in its beautiful neutral and classic surroundings:

Like the above our handsome Barrington sofa (now discontinued) below was inspired by the timeless design and outstanding quality of traditional British furniture and looks picture perfect whether in a contemporary or more traditional setting.
