Product Information

Full details

The Cavendish Armchair in Old English leather is designed for those seeking a classic, sophisticated seating option that blends heritage aesthetics with long-term comfort. It is an ideal addition to libraries, home offices, or cozy reading nooks where a supportive, upright sitting posture is preferred. While the high-quality genuine leather offers remarkable durability and a timeless appearance, potential owners should be aware that the material will naturally develop a unique patina over time, which may result in tonal variations that are characteristic of premium natural hide.

FAQs

Does the chair come fully assembled?

It is supplied fully assembled, with the exception of the legs, which can be attached easily without complex tools.

What are the exact dimensions?

The chair measures 103 cm in height, 84 cm in width, and 86 cm in depth, with a seat height of 48 cm.

Is the leather uniform in color?

No, the genuine leather features natural tonal variation, meaning each chair has a unique, individual appearance that evolves over time.

Can this be used in a high-traffic area?

Yes, the robust internal frame and durable leather hide are designed to withstand regular daily use.

How do I maintain the stud detailing?

Gently wipe the studs with a dry, soft cloth occasionally to prevent dust accumulation; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the finish.

Troubleshooting

The chair feels slightly wobbly on the floor

Check that the wooden legs are screwed in tightly and evenly; if the floor is uneven, consider using small felt furniture pads to level it.

The leather appears dry or dull

Apply a high-quality, wax-free leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality genuine leather with natural tonal depth
  • Sturdy construction provides excellent long-term support
  • Arrives mostly assembled for quick setup
  • Timeless design fits well in both traditional and transitional interiors
  • Supportive high-back design ideal for reading

Cons

  • Leather requires periodic care to maintain its condition
  • May develop natural scuffs or marks due to the nature of the leather
  • Design is strictly traditional, which may not suit ultra-modern minimalist homes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

The Cavendish Armchair arrives almost entirely assembled. To complete the setup, you simply need to screw the wooden legs into the base of the frame, which typically requires no special tools. For compatibility, the chair matches well with dark wood aesthetics and traditional textile patterns like wool or tweed.

Care Instructions:

  1. Regularly dust the leather with a soft, dry cloth to prevent grit buildup.
  2. Keep the chair away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
  3. If a spill occurs, blot immediately with a clean, slightly damp cloth—do not rub.
  4. Use a dedicated leather conditioner every 6–12 months to maintain the suppleness of the hide.
