Charles Barr Mahogany Furniture Collection

Mahogany
Collection

by Charles Barr

Charles Barr Collection
The name of Charles Barr dates back well over 100 years to the latter part
of the 19th Century. It was in 1861 that a chair maker by the name of
Charles Barr set up a workshop in the parish of Shoreditch in London.

With the assistance of his three sons the business flourished but it was the
influence of Charles Barr’s youngest son Ernest that changed the company
from a chair maker to a company specialising in what would have then been
considered to be furniture of the period drawing inspiration from such
Joint Managing Directors, Danny Bryan (left) and Kevin
designers as Robert Adam, George Hepplewhite, Thomas Sheraton and
Hutchins (right)
Thomas Chippendale.

With the passing of time the company faded into near obscurity and it was
not until the late 1940’s that the name of Charles Barr was resurrected by a
London businessman by the name of Wilfred Griffiths. Relying mainly on
outside manufacturing sources the company grew and began once again to
be successful, but it was the appointment of two key members of staff Bryan
and Hutchins, together with the interest of a business entrepreneur by the
name of Chris Stockwell that saw the business move to a new level. Two
new factory sites were set up at Sandy, Bedfordshire and Wroxham, Norfolk.
These production facilities saw the company increase its range of furniture
which was now being designed and made in house by the Bryan and
Hutchins partnership.

In 1992 a Management buy out saw Bryan and Hutchins take control of the
business and since this time the company’s product range has been
significantly developed to incorporate the decorative traditional style that
Charles Barr is known and renowned for. Supplying most of the better
quality independent outlets throughout the UK the company also exports
its furniture all over the world to countries such as the USA, Japan, Russia
and Europe. With a standard range of furniture which is second to none the
company also provides a complete bespoke service from the original
concept and design stage through to final production and delivery.

opulent Today with so many imports flooding the UK and the country’s
manufacturing base on the decline the Charles Barr story continues.

Modern times require modern equipment, if you are looking for a cabinet to house your Plasma
TV the Charles Barr Plasma cabinet differs from any other on the market. Forget those big and
bulky cabinets that are best suited to board rooms, our compact cabinet houses your Plasma
TV screen at the front of the unit, with a simple push button up and down switch located on
the side of the cabinet, or if you prefer a key fob remote control, will allow you at the press of
a button to raise and lower the TV via an electric actuator installed within the cabinet.
As the TV rises so does the cabinet top with its two false drawer fronts, the side sliding bottom
doors open to allow access to your cinema equipment, revealing ample storage space for DVD’s
and videos via two banks of drawers as well as extra space in the top area set behind the TV.
Our cabinet incorporates safety systems to ensure that the mechanism lowering your plasma
screen will not operate when either of the doors is open. There is also a touch sensitive bar
beneath the TV that will prevent damage to any object inadvertently left beneath it.

Tr a d i t i o n a l Charles Barr Collection

varied graining.

More in keeping with the style of the period, all tops in our traditional collection
are constructed from solid mahogany, the use of olive ash bandings and inlays on
both tops and cabinet fascias compliments and provides a perfect match should
you wish to mix our traditional range with Grandeur or Regal pieces.

special M4 light non-
distressed mahogany
finish. For further details

Tr a f a l g a r Charles Barr Collection

A name well versed in British history, our Trafalgar
collection has an almost galleon appeal to its design,
its sturdiness and robust style is complimented by
blind curl mahogany veneers highlighted with exotic
ebony bandings and unlike our other mahogany
collections the Trafalgar range is polished in a special
M5 finish which incorporates a light antique
distressing with subtle faded effects.

Both single pedestal and twin pedestal dining tables
in our Trafalgar range have leaf storage systems. Twin
pedestal two leaf dining tables will close fully
providing the second leaf is stored away from the
dining table, whilst twin pedestal three leaf dining
tables when storing a single leaf cannot be reduced in
size beyond a one leaf table length. (For further
details please consult your Charles Barr price list.)

All Trafalgar table pedestals are fitted with bayonet
style glide castors that can be removed if you wish to
stand your table on a timber or stone decorative floor.
