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 country furniture typically combines traditional vernacular craftsmanship with simple, functional designs. Chairs from this era often feature solid oak construction, hand-carved back rails, turned legs, and natural rush seating.

Rush seats were hand-woven using dried freshwater bulrushes coiled tightly around a wooden frame. This method provided a durable, flexible, and comfortable seating surface favoured in regional British chairmaking.

Authentic pieces demonstrate authentic surface patination on the timber frame, traditional peg or mortise-and-tenon joinery, and natural variations in the wear and colour tone of the woven rush cords.

Rustic oak chairs pair effectively with contemporary contemporary timber tables, minimalist polished concrete floors, or crisp linen soft furnishings to create an engaging textural contrast.

Dust the wood regularly and apply a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year to nourish the oak. Keep rush seats away from direct heat sources to prevent drying out, and lightly mist with water if the fibres dry excessively.
