The story of Timothy Oulton started back in 1976 with a small antiques shop, owned by Tim’s dad. Profoundly influenced by his love of antiques, his father’s military background and an inherent affection for British heritage, Tim created an authentic, visionary brand with the deepest integrity and a passion to deliver the extraordinary.

Handcrafted with only the best traditional techniques and fabrications, each Timothy Oulton piece is inspired by the past, but reconceived from a modern perspective, producing uniquely authentic collections which push the boundaries of furniture design.

Every hide is carefully worked for hours to achieve the authentic character and feel of vintage leather. Natural markings are embraced, and each leather is designed to grow more beautiful with time and use. Translucent dyes are applied by hand to create rich, natural tones, using simple tools and time-honoured techniques.

In some cases, the leather is further treated after upholstery, adding distinctive secondary finishes that make each piece unique.
