Dining Tables
Our dining tables are handcrafted in Devon using British and French hardwoods. Each piece is made to order, with timber selected specifically for its grain and character. Clients can choose from tapered leg, trestle, or refectory designs, customising size, wood type, and finish. The process ensures every table becomes a unique centrepiece that balances aesthetic appeal with practical durability for family and commercial use.
Handmade Chairs
We produce bespoke chairs using traditional woodworking techniques. Options include Windsor and frame chairs with solid wood or upholstered seats. Each commission involves careful timber selection and ergonomic design considerations. Clients receive fully customisable pieces that complement dining tables while maintaining individual style. The chairs combine comfort, structural integrity, and artistic detailing to create heirloom-quality seating solutions for residential and hospitality settings.
Bespoke Furniture
Our bespoke service transforms client visions into unique furniture pieces. The process begins with design consultations, followed by material selection and handcrafting in our Devon workshop. We accommodate special requirements for dimensions, wood types, and functional features. Recent projects include custom desks, bookcases, and statement tables. Each creation undergoes rigorous quality checks to ensure it meets both practical needs and artistic expectations for discerning residential and commercial clients.
Delivery Service
We provide professional delivery using specialist fine furniture couriers. Deliveries occur within prearranged two-hour time slots, with items positioned in clients' homes. Costs vary between 150-350 depending on location. Our network ensures safe transportation across the UK, with real-time updates during transit. This premium service protects the integrity of handcrafted pieces while offering convenience for clients receiving large or delicate furniture items.
Timber Selection
Our expertise guides clients through selecting appropriate hardwoods for their projects. We specialise in British oak, ash, and walnut alongside French and European timbers. The consultation covers grain patterns, durability, and finish options. Clients receive physical samples to assess texture and colour. This service ensures informed decisions about material properties that affect both aesthetics and longevity, supporting the creation of furniture that maintains its beauty through generations of use.

We've been delighted with our table and chairs from Orpago. Tom spent time helping us decide what we wanted and was flexible and full of good suggestions. Delivery was slightly delayed by Covid-19 but well worth the wait. The table is exquisite and beautifully made, as are the chairs, which are the most comfortable dining chairs we've ever sat on. Both table and chairs have been admired and enjoyed by visitors. Tom's advice on size, proportion, wood type and finish were all spot on: exactly right for the setting.
