FAQs

Howard and Sons armchairs originated in the Victorian era, renowned for their deep-sprung comfort, low profiles, scrolled arms, and meticulous traditional upholstery techniques.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid beech wood frames, coiled steel springs hand-tied with twine, horsehair stuffing, and heavy cotton or linen ticking fabrics.

Markers of authenticity include stamped brass castors, numbered legs, makers marks on the webbing or back legs, and traditional hand-stitched edge work.

Pair the chair with minimalist contemporary elements, neutral walls, or architectural lighting to balance its classic proportions and pattern.

Vacuum the fabric gently using a low-suction attachment, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, and consult a professional conservator for traditional reupholstery or structural repairs.
