About Us

Welcome to the world of Chocolate Baroque!

Chocolate Baroque is a small independent art and craft company, based in the historic market town of Barnard Castle in County Durham in the North-East of England and is owned and run by Lesley and David Wharton.

We design our own range of natural rubber art stamps from hand drawn originals, complemented by typography from Lesley. The rubber stamps are made in house, by David, to our very exacting quality standards. And nothing gets past his eagle eye!

We sell a hand picked range of stamps from other companies too, as well as stamp mounting and storage systems, interesting surfaces to stamp onto and interesting things to colour with.

But we're not just a stamp company, we love to source other quality materials to get your creative juices flowing so we are constantly improving and evolving our product mix.

Please take a good look around the site, we've done our best to make it easy to navigate and you'll find a search bar at the top of every page. Enjoy your visit and hope to see you here again soon!
