About Our Benches
Discover the elegance of our handcrafted benches, inspired by the timeless designs of Sir Herbert Baker. At Herbert Baker Furniture, we combine the legacy of English architecture with the beauty of sustainable English and European oak, creating pieces that are not just furniture, but heirlooms.
Our benches are sturdy and made to last, handcrafted with love, and made with rest and comfort in mind. A place to put on your boots, to enjoy a view, to remember a loved one.
Crafted in Kent
Every bench we create is a testament to master craftsmanship. Nestled in the heart of Kent, our artisans pour their skill and passion into each unique piece, ensuring that you receive a bench that’s truly one-of-a-kind. Our benches are more than just seating; they’re a statement. Designed for those with a taste for luxury and an appreciation for fine craftsmanship, our benches are the perfect addition to gardens that exude elegance and sophistication.
Made from English and European Oak
We selected oak for our bench not just for its beautiful look, but for its durability and resistance to the elements. The natural tannin found in oak acts as a preservative, protecting it from decay and pests. Oak gracefully ages over time; It turns from a golden hue to a beautiful silvery-grey, adding a distinct and elegant charm to each bench, that will look stunning and last for decades.
Personalised Just for You
Your garden is an extension of your home and your personality. That’s why at Herbert Baker Furniture, we offer personalised oak benches. Choose to have your bench engraved with a message or name, and even customise the size to fit your garden perfectly. Our benches make a unique gift, personalised and handcrafted to your design. We will create a perfect memorial for your special event, loved one or occasion.
Sustainable
We’re proud to say that our benches are made from sustainably grown oak trees from regenerated woodlands, air seasoned and kiln dried in Kent with a production process that is virtually waste-free. Any leftover timber is used for firewood, organic farming and for smoking local fish and meats. This commitment to sustainability ensures that while you enjoy the luxury of a bench to last generations, we are also planting for the future.
