Gary Soame
Managing Director
With over 20 years in the home interiors trade, I began my career as a dealer and auctioneer of antiques in Oxfordshire. My passion for well-made, beautiful pieces led me to open our first shop in Witney - Soame Interiors - in 2008, offering a carefully curated mix of antiques alongside an ever-growing range of new homeware.
Much of our collection is directly imported from artisans and sustainable sources in India and the Far East.
In 2026, I founded The Oxford Garden — a natural extension of this experience. Having worked closely with customers for many years, it became clear that finding garden furniture with the same balance of quality, proportion, and understated style as interior pieces was often a challenge. The Oxford Garden was created to offer a more considered approach: well-made outdoor furniture that sits comfortably within its surroundings and stands the test of time.
I’m fortunate to have a dedicated team, including my wife Katie, whose support is invaluable. Together, we remain committed to offering a personal, thoughtful service — whether at shows or online — helping you choose pieces that feel right for their gardens.
