The Real Wood

Chris Baylis, principal of the company, is passionate about his furniture. Catch him in the showrooms and you will discover why! Both Chris and manager James Burrough are involved from the design stage to the final inspection before delivery. Chris has been involved in the antiques trade for more than 25 years and is an acknowledged expert in the field of antique English country chairs.

He founded The Real Wood Furniture Company over 14 years ago specifically to make new furniture. He has drawn on the knowledge, experience and appreciation of good proportion and finish gained over the years to design and specify a complete and complimentary range.

The Real Wood Furniture Company work exclusively with ash, oak, cherry and elm, timbers indigenous to these shores, from sustained and managed sources. Wherever possible we use only FSC approved timbers and are proud to be a founder member of "Woodland Heritage", a charity dedicated to increasing the woodland area in the UK.
