Howard and Sons armchairs are renowned for their exceptional comfort, traditional coiled spring construction, and distinctive makers stamps, often featuring on the castors or legs.

These chairs typically utilise a sturdy beech frame, hand-tied double-conical steel springs, horsehair stuffing, and high-quality ticking or upholstery fabrics.

Authenticity is usually verified through stamped numbers on the legs or castors, signature ticking fabric underneath, and the specific ergonomic proportions characteristic of the maker.

It serves as a sophisticated statement piece in a living room or study, pairing well with contemporary minimalist elements or traditional English country house decor.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and professional cleaning for the upholstery.
