£499
Price History
Description
Bring warmth and established character into your home with this Old English genuine leather armchair. Designed with a tall supportive back, shaped wings, rolled arms, buttoned upholstery and traditional stud detailing, the chair has a refined heritage look that works particularly well in living rooms, libraries, offices and cosy reading spaces. The rich Old English finish adds depth and pairs beautifully with solid wood furniture, dark metal lighting and traditional patterned textiles. The genuine leather upholstery has natural tonal variation, giving each chair an individual appearance. Over time the leather may develop additional character, enhancing the relaxed and authentic feel of the piece. A supportive seat cushion and high back provide a comfortable place to sit, while the shaped sides create a more enclosed and restful seating position. The armchair has a substantial internal frame and wooden legs that complement the warm leather tone. It is supplied fully assembled, with only the legs to attach, making setup straightforward. Once the legs are securely fitted, the chair is ready to place and use. This Old English genuine leather armchair offers a balanced combination of traditional styling, practical comfort and durable construction. It is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a distinctive standalone chair with timeless appeal rather than a short lived fashion-led design.
Our Stylist Says
I really like the Cavendish armchair - it’s a versatile piece that adds a touch of classic charm to both traditional and eclectic interiors. The vintage leather finish lends it a warm, inviting feel, making it perfect for cosy reading corners or a statement piece in a living room. Styling it alongside neutral textiles, antique accessories, or layered cushions can elevate its vintage appeal, while its sturdy build means it works well in both formal and relaxed settings. For practical tips, pair it with a cosy throw or a decorative footstool to create a comfy, inviting spot for downtime. Its timeless look can seamlessly blend into various schemes, from country cottage to urban vintage, making it a wardrobe essential for adding character.

About The Range
Humble Beginnings
In 1980, Chris Dawson set up a simple open-air market stall in Plymouth. By 1989, this entrepreneurial spirit led to the opening of the very first physical store on Billacombe Road, originally named "C.D.S. Superstores". However, in the early '90s, a rebranding took place, introducing "The Range" to the world.
Today, with a whopping 200+ stores across the UK, The Range boasts an impressive selection of over 65,000 products, spreading across 16 diverse departments, all dedicated to enhancing homes and lifestyles.
A Visionary Leader
Chris Dawson, the brain behind The Range, held the CEO position from 1989 to 2017. With a flair for business, Chris's achievements haven't gone unnoticed. He was even ranked fifth in a survey of Britain's Top 100 Entrepreneurs.
Under his leadership, The Range has not only thrived locally but has also hinted at European expansion dreams, envisioning a staggering 1,000 stores across the continent.
More Than Just Stores
You can find The Range in many places, mostly outside town centres, but also in shopping areas. Some stores have a coffee shop called "Dee Dee's", and others even have a food section from Iceland. And if you like online shopping, The Range has got you covered there too with a big online store.
