In setting up Thomas Veryard, I set out to explore my longstanding love for vernacular furniture and the traditional processes involved to create a contemporary scope of furniture to be handed down through generations - a representation of varying time periods and design styles, wed to my own beliefs within furniture making.

As of 2025, I set up my own workshop on the grounds of the Welbeck Estate, following a fire in my previous shared workshop where I lost all the tools and machinery I had up to that point - including those handed down to me by my late Grandfather. The workshop itself is situated within the old walls of ‘The Tan Gallop’, built in 1860 by the Duke of Portland as an indoor track to race his horses in bad weather.

Many of the machines themselves in the workshop date back to the 40’s and 50’s and are testament to the furniture they aid in making. Made in England, just like my own pieces. Built to endure generations and often beautifully simple in construction.
