We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment.

FAQs

Howard and Sons armchairs are renowned for their exceptionally comfortable, sprung upholstery, low profiles, and deep seats, representing the pinnacle of late Victorian comfort and craftsmanship.

These chairs typically feature sturdy beech frames, complex hand-tied coil spring systems, horsehair stuffing, and are supported by turned walnut legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped brass castors, numbered legs, paper manufacturer labels under the upholstery, and distinctive high-quality ticking fabric linings.

They make excellent statement pieces when paired with minimalist contemporary sofas or placed by a fireplace, bridging traditional elegance with modern living spaces.

Protect the fabric with regular gentle vacuuming using a soft brush attachment, keep them out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult a professional restorer for upholstery repairs.
