Billy Hunt and Co

Billy Hunt is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.
Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.
Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.
We always endeavor to offer a careful selection of chosen pieces from the British Isles ranging from 1800 to 1990 with makers such as Heal’s, Gillows, Pieff, Howard, Younger, Gomme, Archie Shine to name a few. Worth remembering, we are a business and as such we purchase what our clients desire alongside what we enjoy. Our pieces are usually ready for placing, with the option of professional reupholstery on seating if you desire - please see our upholstery page. We prefer to keep our pricing intelligent, knowledgeable, current and sensible, so no silly over inflated price tags to give you mouth watering discounts like some in our field seem to prefer…
Our extensive client base covers the celebrated, international clients, interior designers, film companies and ladies and gentlemen like us who enjoy our professional, skilled, friendly and knowledgeable approach.

Description
From the range designed by Dick Russell in 1934, we have this rather beautiful modernist console desk of 2 drawers in a lighter shade of English oak.
We have 2 drawers made with single plank fronts, solid drawer carcasses joined with hand-cut lap and through dovetails, finished with hand turned walnut knobs. The lines are good, never easy to design something “simple” looking - well done Dick! As you would expect the grains and tones are spot on from Russell.
The condition is good - the original walnut knobs, often lost or swapped out, are in place, we have light wear to the top and sides, nothing nasty or off-putting. We have carefully cleaned and very lightly waxed the piece and it is ready to place. Perfect for so many spaces and such a well executed design.
One of our favourites from the workshop of Gordon Russell.
