Batheaston has become a name to trust and a sure sign that a piece of furniture has been made to last, with no compromise and an unprecedented attention to detail. Starting at the beginning of the process, the Gill family carefully select their oak and ash trees from sustainable woodlands, making sure they are the highest quality. Then, using traditional methods and techniques handed down through the generations, they begin to mould the wood into treasured heirlooms of the future.
Batheaston specialises in oak tables and cabinets that can be made to measure to suit all tastes and fit specific spaces, catered to your individual needs. In addition to fixed tops, extendable tables are a handy space-saving option for occasional entertaining.
The backbone of the family business is the distinctive Windsor chair and its many different styles - a timeless classic that brings an elegance all of its own and is essentially the finishing touch to any room, whether positioned around the table or at the fireside.

Services
Before furniture makers we were wheelwrights.
Richard Gill came from an unbroken line of wheelwrights stretching back to the 16th century, working in premises that housed the profession for generations before him.
He and his family used the same techniques as their ancestors to build beautiful and traditional carriages.
At the time there was increasing popularity for horse and carriage driving, as there were many people who appreciated the elegance, comfort and practicality of a traditional vehicle.

The key to producing wonderful furniture is giving each individual piece an antique patina to simulate years of use.
This is largely a hand process and down to the flair and imagination of the person doing the job; almost a quarter of our time is involved in this process.
Chairs are made in Ash and tables and cabinets are made in Oak.
Batheaston offers a range of wood colours as standard and a colour matching service on request.
The open nature of our woodlands, hedgerows and parks allows easy light penetration which encourages 'epicormic growth' on the main trunks of the trees.
