This nineteenth-century Victorian armchair is an example of English Country House style. The piece takes the form of a deep-seated armchair upholstered in gold velvet fabric, featuring a deep button-backed backrest, sloping arms, turned mahogany front legs, and brass castors. The front legs are stamped alongside the mahogany splayed back legs, which also have stamped castors. The woodwork shows a dark timber finish, while the upholstery presents a soft golden yellow hue. Measuring 86 cm high, 76 cm wide, and 80 cm deep, the armchair suits placement in a living room, study, or drawing room as a comfortable fireside seat or reading chair. Its classic lines and traditional materials blend into both period and modern interior schemes.

Howard and Sons armchairs, originating in 19th-century London, are characterised by deep seating, patented coil spring construction, and padded sloping arms.

Authentic Victorian armchairs feature solid hardwood frames made from oak or mahogany, stuffed with horsehair and coil springs, upholstered in velvet and finished with brass castors.

Authentic pieces frequently display stamped maker marks on the inside of the rear wooden legs, branded brass castors, or original printed ticking lining beneath upholstery.

A gold velvet armchair provides warmth and texture when placed alongside neutral wall tones, dark wood side tables, and contemporary architectural lighting.

Vacuum velvet gently with a soft brush attachment along the direction of the pile, blot spills immediately with a dry cloth, and position the armchair away from direct sunlight to prevent colour fading.
