Nestled in the rolling Cheviot Hills of Northumberland, Addison Ross has quietly defined what it means to combine craftsmanship, luxury, and personal vision. A family-owned house with roots stretching back to 1978, the home goods boutique began as a humble gallery on the Scottish border before finding a home in Belgravia’s Eaton Terrace. From those early days, the Ross family has nurtured talent and taste alike, launching the careers of emerging artists while pioneering handmade frames that would grace the walls of London’s most discerning galleries and interior designers.
The story of Addison Ross is one of evolution without compromise. In the early 1990s, the brand unveiled its first marquetry-and-veneer photo frames, a subtle yet defining pivot from gallery patronage to refined object-making. Since then, its repertoire has expanded thoughtfully: lacquered trays, elegant boxes, sleek clocks, and portable lighting, all imbued with the same meticulous attention to detail that first made its frames celebrated. Each piece is crafted from the finest materials: FSC-certified woods, gleaming enamel, and multiple coats of high-gloss lacquer, resulting in objects that are as enduring as they are enchanting.
Yet, despite its international reach (Addison Ross products now grace the shelves of over 30 countries, including Fortnum & Mason, Liberty of London, and Saks Fifth Avenue), the brand remains intimately personal. Founder Davis Ross steers the creative helm alongside his wife, Sarah, and son, Harry, preserving a family ethos that prizes quality, elegance, and a genuine love of home craftsmanship.
"With our new Backgammon Collection, we really wanted to celebrate that timeless feeling of togetherness. It’s a game that’s been loved for generations, and it’s always been a favorite in our family too. We’ve reimagined the classic backgammon set with a distinctly Addison Ross feel, elegant, playful, and full of personality," said David and Sarah Ross, co-founders of Addison Ross. "Thoughtful design, attention to detail, and our love of color and texture are what we’re known for, and this collection brings all of that to life."
The Addison Ross Christmas Edit captures the season’s spirit with a curated collection of lacquered treasures that bring warmth, wit, and elegance to the home. The Small Burgundy Striped Tray gleams in deep Burgundy with subtle gold detailing, while the Red Lacquer Rechargeable Bobbin LED Lamp glows in festive Red, casting a cozy light on winter evenings. For those who love tradition, the Black Watch Tartan Medium Tray and Ross Tartan Small Tray evoke classic holiday heritage, perfectly paired with the Cherry Wax LED Candles, Set of 2, whose rich Cherry hue infuses every room with warmth. Completing the palette, the Leaf Green Lacquer Rechargeable Bobbin LED Lamp adds a touch of modern freshness in radiant Leaf Green. Together, these pieces weave a story of timeless design and joyful living, perfect for homes where the holidays are celebrated in style.
Closing the year and perfect for holiday gatherings that last into the night, Addison Ross reintroduces an icon of jet-set leisure: the Backgammon Set. Inspired by the British game’s 1970s and ’80s heyday, immortalized in scenes like Roger Moore’s Bond coolly wagering in Octopussy, this launch revives the glamour of an era when elegance was a pastime. Today, with everyone from Taylor Swift to the Beckhams rekindling its allure, Backgammon has returned to the spotlight, and Addison Ross renders it in impeccable form. Available in four striking lacquer finishes, Tartan, Black Chinoiserie, Tortoiseshell, and Orange Croc, each board is designed to be as exquisitely closed as it is in play. A gift that fuses strategy, artistry, and nostalgia, it’s a modern heirloom for the holidays, inviting warmth, wit, and timeless sophistication back into the living room.
At Addison Ross, a photo frame is never just a frame. The Bobbin collection, with its playful yet sophisticated contours and a palette that ranges from soft Cappuccino to jewel-toned exuberance, transforms photo frames, pepper mills, LED lamps, and candlestick holders into gallery-worthy statements. Wide, high-shine enamel frames with gold or silver trims evoke a quiet glamour, marrying tradition with modern sensibility.
Their lacquered trays and boxes, scalloped, glossy, and impossibly tactile, turn ordinary rituals into moments of refinement. A tray can cradle cocktails or gather the small treasures of a coffee table with equal aplomb, a testament to the brand’s understanding of everyday luxury.
Lighting, too, has found a distinct Addison Ross expression: portable, rechargeable LED lamps feature the signature Bobbin base, casting a warm, adjustable glow over evening terraces or intimate reading nooks. And in their clocks, understated elegance meets functional perfection, ensuring that each passing moment is experienced with poise.
In a season that celebrates warmth, gathering, and tradition, Addison Ross reminds us that there truly is no place like home for the holidays. Each lacquered frame, scalloped tray, and gleaming lamp is more than décor, it’s an invitation to slow down, light a candle, and savor the beauty of familiar rituals. These are objects made to be lived with, shared, and passed down, enriching each moment spent together. For nearly half a century, the Ross family has understood that luxury begins not in extravagance, but in the quiet details that make a house feel like home. This holiday, their collections are both a gift and a reminder: the greatest elegance lies in the spaces where we gather, laugh, and belong.
