"We all need a little comfort and nostalgia surrounding us at home..."
- Louise Roe
Welcome...
Welcome to Sharland England, a collection of furniture, bedding, tabletop & gifts I have designed, all made by hand. I wanted to create modern heirlooms: nostalgic pieces inspired by an era of exquisite craftsmanship & joyful entertaining, that I hope you’ll one day pass down to future generations.
Louise Roe, Founder
Behind The Name
‘Sharland’ is the maiden name of my great Grandmother. Three generations of family lived in Buenos Aires; all strong British women with a wicked sense of humour and a refined sense of style. Marjorie Sharland threw magical parties and entertained with a sense of ease. The table looked elegant, yet somehow, informal.
Growing up in the English countryside, our home was peppered with antique chintz, rattan, cane and patina’d wooden furniture. I was surrounded by the warmth, tradition and nostalgia these pieces evoked.
They honestly made my eyes twinkle, even as a child, when I walked into a room. It was as if glamorous stories and scenes from the past, just floated up from them.
What We Do
These childhood memories inspired the identity and aesthetic at the core of Sharland England. Blending history, hand and tool, we support local artisans and craftspeople, using techniques passed down over centuries. I enjoy designing every piece, before watching it come to life through the skills of our artisans. Our rattan is sustainably sourced using entirely natural rattan and woven by hand, with the greatest of care. Our ceramics are hand-painted, our glassware mouth-blown, our candles hand-poured & our linens are meticulously embroidered.
I truly believe there is nothing like these natural materials and designs – full of their own stories - to add a sense of luxury and timelessness to a room. It makes me happy to think of Sharland England pieces being welcomed into your home.
