Timothy Oulton

History

The story of Timothy Oulton started back in 1976 with a small antiques shop, owned by Tim's dad. Timothy Oulton's father, Major Philip Oulton, opened his antiques business in Britain in 1976. Located in the village of Hale, near Manchester, he decided to name it Hale Antiques. The signer spelt it wrong however, and Halo was born. In 1990 Tim took the helm at Halo. Deciding there was no long term future in the antiques business, he focussed instead on design; reinventing antiques for the wholesale market. Tim met Diego, an Argentinian leather master full of Tim's fire and passion for innovation. In 2008 Tim opened his first gallery under the Timothy Oulton retail brand, in Los Angeles at HD Buttercup. Flagships in Dallas, Hong Kong and Amsterdam opened, showcasing the best and boldest of Timothy Oulton. The brand 'comes home' with a gallery in Harrods; the world's most iconic department store. Today, Timothy Oulton is all over the world, with stores opening in the most global cities.
