FAQs

Howard and Sons sofas originated in the Victorian era, characterised by low scrolled arms, deep seats, and a heavily sprung construction designed for maximum comfort.

Authentic pieces typically feature a beechwood frame, hand-tied steel coil springs, animal hair stuffing, and traditional hessian webbing underneath high-grade upholstery.

Authenticity is often verified by stamped brass castors, numbered legs, makers marks on the webbing or underframe, and specific traditional upholstery techniques.

Pairing the patterned upholstery with neutral walls, minimalist lighting, and contemporary side tables creates a balanced aesthetic that highlights the heritage piece.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction brush attachment, and engage professional textile conservators for deep cleaning.
