FAQs

Howard and Sons was a prominent London-based upholstery and cabinet-making firm founded in the 19th century, renowned for producing exceptionally comfortable and high-quality seating furniture that became synonymous with Victorian and Edwardian domestic luxury.

Authentic pieces typically feature robust beech frames, traditional hand-tied coil spring systems, horsehair stuffing, and layered cotton wadding, finished with turned wooden legs and castors.

Authentication relies on identifying makers marks, such as stamped numbers on the back legs, branded castors, or remnants of paper lining labels bearing the firms Berners Street address.

Pairing this seating with minimalist contemporary decor or rich heritage textures allows the classic silhouette and tailored proportions to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, professional dry cleaning for the fabric, and protecting the timber legs and brass castors from excessive moisture and direct sunlight.
