Situated in the market town of Wallingford in Oxfordshire, Pettits was established on 6th March 1856 by Mr William Pettit who came from Newmarket, where his father was a saddle maker.

One of the largest and oldest businesses in Wallingford, the store remained in the Pettit family until 1987 when it was sold to the Rowse family, another local family firm well known for it’s honey production.

Pettits is the only department store remaining in Wallingford with over 20 departments covering three floors.

We are based in eleven rooms of Calleva House, a Queen Anne town house in the historic town of Wallingford in the heart of the Thames Valley.

The company was established in 1915 and has since then been supplying antique English and continental furniture to retail and trade clients alike. We were recently described as everybody’s best kept secret.

The fast changing stock regularly includes Georgian partners desks, long sets of dining chairs, breakfront bookcases as well as more unusual items.

The Old Stable Gallery features original paintings in oil, acrylic and watercolour, limited edition prints, artists’ greetings cards, fine studio work from jewellers, potters, sculptors and glass makers amd superb examples of the wood turner’s craft.

The Gallery also offers a  bespoke framing service able to present your originals, photos and prints to the best advantage.

As part of this work we run a successful charity shop in Wallingford. It provides volunteering opportunities for people both with and without disabilities.

The shop enables the people we support to gain valuable work experience, meet lots of customers and assist as much as possible in helping Style Acre to prosper.
However this forms only a modest part of our work, see our website for more information.
