The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

A Howard and Sons open armchair is characterised by relaxed proportions, a deep seat, padded arms on turned wooden supports, and short turned legs set on brass castors. Popularised in the nineteenth century, these chairs were engineered for comfort and classic English country house interiors.

Traditional Victorian upholstered armchairs were constructed with solid hardwood frames, typically oak or beech, featuring coiled steel spring seating, horsehair or wool padding, and brass castors. Upholstery fabrics included silk damask, wool tapestry, and cotton or silk velvet.

Authentic pieces by Howard and Sons frequently feature a makers stamp on the inside of the rear legs, stamped brass castors bearing the makers name, or original ticking fabric patterned with the monogram initials. The frame construction relies on high-grade hardwood with deep spring webbing.

A velvet open armchair can serve as an accent piece in a minimalist living space or reading nook. Pair the rich texture of gold velvet with neutral walls, contemporary floor lamps, or architectural side tables to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

To preserve antique velvet upholstery, vacuum the fabric regularly using a soft brush attachment in the direction of the pile to remove dust. Spills should be blotted immediately with a dry cloth rather than rubbed, and professional specialist cleaning is recommended for deep stains or delicate antique textiles.
