FAQs

Howard and Sons furniture is characterised by exceptional craftsmanship, deep comfort, and distinctive sprung upholstery techniques developed during the Victorian era.

Authentic pieces typically feature robust hardwood frames, traditional coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy brass castors stamped with maker details.

Authenticity is usually verified through stamped wooden frame legs, specific serial numbers, stamped brass castor collars, and traditional ticking fabric linings.

Such pieces serve well as versatile accent seating or coffee table alternatives, adding textural contrast and historical character to contemporary living spaces.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, protection from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and professional cleaning for delicate fabrics.
