FAQs

Howard and Sons chairs are renowned for their exceptional comfort, low-slung proportions, and superior traditional upholstery techniques originating from the Victorian era.

These pieces typically feature beech or mahogany frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy ticking, supported by turned wooden legs with brass castors.

Authenticity is often verified through stamped brass castor caps, numbered legs, makers marks on the webbing or back legs, and specific traditional upholstery hallmarks.

They work effectively as statement pieces in modern living spaces, pairing well with minimalist architecture to create a layered, collected aesthetic.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and professional cleaning for historic fabrics.
