Measurements
Our rare breed sheepskins are naturally coloured and individually marked.
The sheepskins shown in the product images are examples only. To see what is currently available, visit our Rare Breed Sheepskins page.
You will need to choose around 10 coordinating sheepskins for your Rare Bear Chair.
You can either select the fleeces yourself, or send us the codes of a few favourites and we will choose the remaining hides to work beautifully with them. We can then send the full selection to you for approval before we begin upholstery.
Made to Order
Your Rare Bear Sheepskin Chair is made to order especially for you.
You can choose to have the legs covered in sheepskin or finished in wood. If you have a preferred wood finish or any specific requirements, simply add a note at checkout or contact us before ordering.
Lead times can be up to 8 weeks, although we are often able to complete orders sooner. If you need your chair for a particular date, contact us before ordering and we will let you know what is possible.
Handmade in North Wales
Each Rare Bear is upholstered by hand in our workshop in Denbigh, North Wales using genuine British rare breed sheepskin and traditional upholstery techniques.
Because every fleece is different, natural variation in colour, curl, wool length and markings is part of the finished chair rather than something we try to hide.
The result is a substantial, one-of-a-kind armchair that could never be reproduced exactly.

We source the highest quality grade sheepskin predominantly from flocks across the UK. Where we are unable to source a specific colour within the UK we import sheepskin from New Zealand. Sheep are not farmed for their skins and sheepskin is a by-product of the food industry.
Rare breed sheepskin is wonderfully expressive. Each piece has its own natural character, with variations in wool length, texture, curl and colour that make every creation entirely unique.
Tones range from soft creams and warm ivories through to rich browns and deep chocolate shades, often with subtle variation across a single fleece. Some pieces are long and flowing, others more textured and sculptural — all naturally occurring and impossible to replicate.
This natural diversity is exactly what gives rare breed pieces their depth, movement and individuality.

For made-to-order pieces, you’re invited to select your favourites from the collection. From there, we carefully curate a complementary set, considering tone, texture and flow so everything works beautifully together. We’ll always share the selection with you for approval before any making begins.
As sheepskin is a natural product the wool on each of our sheepskin products is unique and can differ in texture and length. That's why we specify that our measurements are approximate.
Please keep the dyed colours out of strong sunlight as it may bleach and dry out the skin. The natural colours of Ivory, Rare Breed and Chocolate will not be affected by strong sunlight.

2 reviews for Rare Bear Sheepskin Chair
Why Baa Stool?
In 2011 I left the corporate world, moved home to rural North Wales and retrained to be an upholsterer. Two years in, during a tea break from a particularly challenging chair, I was looking at the sheep in the fields surrounding my workshop and mused ‘they look like little footstools. Hmmmmmm…sheepskin covered footstools. Oh yes!’
I spent several months developing the idea and ensuring that every detail of the product is high quality. The frames and legs are made by skilled craftsmen. The sheepskin is always premium grade and predominantly from UK flocks. I source the best upholstery materials and we upholster each Baa Stool using a mix of modern and traditional methods. This is important because I want my customers to enjoy a product that is the very best it can possibly be.
Around this exciting product a group of talented, enthusiastic and dedicated individuals gathered to form 'Team Baa' and a Great Little British Business was born.
I started selling Baa Stools at local artisan markets and county shows and they quickly developed a following. I noticed that the sheepskin cover upholstered on the footstools made people stop in their tracks, look closer…then, inevitably, smile. This quickly became the overall aim of every new design… to make people smile when they walk into a room.
