Description
Wesley Barrell Wychwood Three-Piece Suite — 1990s British Heritage, Professionally Restored
A beautifully crafted and lovingly restored suite from one of Britain's most respected furniture makers, Wesley Barrell. Established in 1895 Wesley Barrell ,a family run firm, had a reputation for handcrafting sofas, armchairs,. They offered bespoke, high-quality and timeless furniture . Sadly, they ceased production in 2019.
This Wychwood design dates from the 1990s. All three items were purchased from Wesley Barrell showroom in Guildford and then refurbished and recovered in August 2006 again by Wesley Barrell.
Craftsmanship & Construction Built on solid hardwood frames, hand-crafted to Wesley Barrell's exacting standards. As part of the refurbishment, all three frames were professionally reglued and structurally refixed before being recovered.
Restoration & Fabric All three pieces were expertly recovered in the mid 2000’s using gold damask fabric ( 70% Viscose and 30% Linen).
Comfort & Cushions
- Generous foam-filled base cushions for firm, supportive seating
- Three luxurious feather back cushions per sofa for that signature sink-in comfort
- A perfect balance of support and softness
- Similar arrangement for the Armchair with a single cushion base and back.
The Suite Includes:
Sofa One H 102cm | W 186cm | D 94cm (All measurements approximate)
Sofa Two — Sofa Bed H 102cm | W 186cm | D 94cm (All measurements approximate) Includes the original Wesley Barrell mattress ( hardly used ).
Armchair H 96cm | W 91cm | D 94cm (All measurements approximate)
Condition
All three pieces have been thoughtfully cared for, professionally treated from time to time to protect the fabric. Each item has loose arm covers in matching fabric additionally to protect the fabric from everyday hand marks.
- Sofa Bed The seat and back cushions show little signs of wear. The valance at the back has some slight marking corresponding to vacuum cleaner rubbing.
- Sofa The back and base cushions show signs of sun bleaching, consistent with a sunny room. There is some patches of discolouration to the cream fabric covering the base springs, not visible as under the seat cushions.
- Armchair — In good condition.
- Overall fabric — Generally in good condition across all three pieces, retaining its original gold damask character and colour.
The three items were our main Suite until the mid 2000’s when they were moved to our second home and then since 2022 they have been in our home office and little used.
Why Buy This Suite? Wesley Barrell pieces are renowned for their robust construction and classic British design. Vintage examples from the 1990s are increasingly sought after by interior designers and collectors who appreciate genuine craftsmanship over mass production.
Additional information: The sofa is a sofa bed with the original Wesley Barrell mattress (see photo). The webbing (see photo) under the mattress in very good condition. The cover over the sofa bed has some slight marking(see photo). The other sofa ( not a sofa bed) the fabric shows some sign of sun bleaching. We have attempted to show you the extent of the bleaching by photographing one bleach cushion against another. That said, the combination of down-lighters and iPhone camera don't really give an accurate feel of the vibrancy of the colors.There's also a discoloration of the fabric covering the spring base of the sofa(see photo). There is no smell, we have had them professionally cleaned a month ago prior to putting them on the market. We have the documents relating to the complete refurbishing and recovering done in 2006; at the cost of 5,557 pounds. They were originally purchased in early 1990's.
