Northamptonshire - has served as the primary residence of the Spencers,
one of the most distinguished, aristocratic families in England with ties to
Winston Spencer Churchill and the ancestors of George Washington.
Althorp Living History is an expansive collection of
furniture and upholstery pieces, all drawing inspiration
from items gathered during the 17th, 18th and 19th
centuries.

It was this combination of rich legacy and the home’s warm, beautiful
interiors that drew fine furniture maker Theodore Alexander to Althorp.
The resulting collection of furniture and upholstery pieces in Althorp Living
History draws inspiration from treasures gathered during the 17th, 18th and
19th Centuries by Althorp’s famous inhabitants.
With the help of its current owner, Charles Spencer, the Ninth Earl, Althorp
has quickly become an impressive home furnishings brand.
