FAQs

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a low-suction attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and professional dry cleaning for fabric maintenance.

Pair the piece with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and contemporary side tables to allow the traditional textile and classic silhouette to serve as a focal point.

Authenticity is generally identified by stamped brass castors, numbered legs, makers marks on the webbing or lining, and specific traditional upholstery techniques unique to the workshop.

These chairs typically feature a beechwood frame, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and are supported by turned mahogany legs fitted with brass castors.

The Howard and Sons armchair style is characterised by deep proportions, low-slung profiles, and exceptionally comfortable coil-sprung upholstery developed during the Victorian era.
