Stonyhurst College was founded in 1593 and remains one of the
UK's most prestigious boarding schools. An adaptation of the
Ampleforth collection, which is named after Tim Oulton's own alma
mater, Stonyhurst similarly transforms Timothy Oulton's
travel-inspired trunks into functional furniture. While preserving
all the hallmarks of traditional craftsmanship in its construction
and detailing, the collection experiments with a range of
innovative finishes including the celebrated Spitfire finish.
Unlike the Ampleforth, the Stonyhurst does not include a lift-up
lid. All leather finishes, plus the Shiny and Black Steel options
and Oxidized Solid Brass, all come with wooden banding. Both the
Spitfire and Aero finish come without any banding. The back
exterior of the Stonyhurst sideboard is upholstered in canvas.
“The romance and nostalgia of vintage luggage, transformed into functional furniture”
Roots & Inspiration

I’ve been a loyal Timothy Oulton customer for over ten years and continue to love the brand for its timeless design and exceptional craftsmanship.
During my recent purchase, I was assisted by Sam Holroyd at the Kings Road gallery, and the experience was outstanding. Sam was prof
