About This Country Home

THIS COUNTRY HOME is an independent shop founded in 2010 born from a genuine passion for discovering extraordinary pieces that tell stories. What began as a charming shop has evolved into a carefully curated online destination, now complemented by our beautiful showroom in Ockley, Surrey - a space where customers can experience our collections firsthand.

Our commitment to supporting independent makers means lots of pieces carry its own story - whether it's a handcrafted table from a local woodworker, an antique discovered here in Europe, or a carefully chosen accent piece that perfectly completes your vision.

Our mission is simple yet profound: to help you bring uniqueness to your home through carefully chosen heritage pieces and one-of-a-kind finds.

This Country Home Tables (Handmade UK)

Slow-grown reclaimed timber (often 100+ years old) salvaged from historic UK/EU buildings.

High-density (approx. 510 kg/m³); significantly heavier, stable, and more durable.

Fixed-format using traditional hand-cut mortise and tenon joinery.

Acclimatised wood that has naturally seasoned over decades; resists splitting.

Hand-applied natural waxes that enhance a historic, authentic patina.

Built as a generational investment; appreciate in character and value over time.

Mass-Market 'Rustic' Imports

Fast-grown new timber or veneers, artificially "distressed" in factories.

Usually low-density softwoods; prone to denting, lightweight, and less structural "heft."

Flat-pack format using cams, bolts, and modern adhesives for shipping ease.

Fast-grown modern pine has a looser grain structure and lower density, making it more susceptible to seasonal movement in centrally heated homes.

Factory-applied lacquers that can obscure natural grain and age less gracefully.

Designed for short-term "fast furniture" cycles; difficult to repair or refinish.
Wooden dining table with chairs in a room with wooden beams and a rug.
