Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.

Please do not hesitate to call or email if you have any questions on the pieces that may interest you - Many thanks Martina

Edwardian oak furniture, produced from 1901 through the 1910s, is characterised by lighter proportions and cleaner lines than preceding Victorian styles, often featuring functional drawer arrangements and classical turned accents.

Desks from this period were crafted using solid oak, quarter-sawn oak cuts, dovetail drawer joinery, cast metal castors, and stamped brass hardware such as backplates and teardrop handles.

Genuine early 20th-century pieces display period-appropriate drawer construction, authentic wear patterns along the kneehole and legs, age-related oxidation on brass fittings, and natural wood grain variations.

An antique oak desk functions effectively as a laptop workstation in a contemporary home office, a hall console in an entryway, or a dressing table in a bedroom when contrasted with modern art and minimalist lighting.

Maintain the wood surface by dusting regularly with a microfibre cloth and applying natural beeswax polish annually. Keep the desk away from direct heat radiators and intense sunlight to prevent timber movement or finish degradation.
