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
Globe Wernicke made plenty of bookcases however they tended not to craft too many desks and this one owner desk is a rare, seldom seen and highly attractive desk in oak, dare we say pretty. Sitting with the maker's label to the right hand top drawer, it's ready for work or maybe for show.
Although we have twin pedestals on this one, it is still compact and very stylish indeed with feet that terminate in lovely pear drop ends, original leather inset work area with Grecian key stamped edge, lovely original solid brass drop pendants to all drawers, slight chiselled edged oak to the front kneehole space, attractive zig zag detailed molding to some edges and the superb original untouched overall condition. As we said, a one family owned piece from new.
Condition as mentioned is highly original - with the right wear in the right places - we do have a working lock and key and we have ensured the piece is ready for placing.
A truly lovely oak desk from Globe Wernicke.
