FAQs

Established in the 19th century, Howard and Sons became renowned for pioneering extremely comfortable, sprung-edge upholstery and supplying high-end furniture to stately homes and London townhouses.

Authentic pieces feature robust beech frames, hand-tied double-sprung coil units, horsehair stuffing, and traditional hessian webbing to ensure structural longevity.

Authenticity is typically verified by stamped brass castors, ink-stamped frame numbers, signature ticking fabric linings, and precise traditional joinery characteristic of nineteenth-century master craftsmen.

Pairing historical seating with minimalist contemporary decor allows the rich textures and traditional craftsmanship to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Protect antique textiles from direct sunlight to prevent fading, avoid moisture, and consult specialist restorers for traditional upholstery repairs using period-appropriate materials.
