The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Originating in nineteenth-century Britain, Howard style armchairs are characterized by deep seating, low padded arms, curved backrests, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. Designed primarily for relaxed comfort, this style became a staple in English country houses and remains a benchmark for classic upholstered seating.

Traditional construction incorporates a solid hardwood frame, typically beech or walnut, fitted with hand-tied steel coil springs and natural fillings such as horsehair and down feather blend. The upholstery is secured over heavy webbing, with turned timber front legs supported on brass castors.

Authentic pieces produced by Howard & Sons frequently feature stamped marks or serial numbers on the inside of the rear legs or stamped onto the brass castors. Additionally, original internal ticking fabric often displays the makers name or monogram.

Positioning a pair of Howard style chairs opposite a minimalist sofa creates a balanced conversational layout. Combining the rich tactile velvet fabric with contemporary side tables or sleek architectural lighting produces an engaging dialogue between historic form and modern elements.

Regularly vacuum velvet upholstery using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust settling into the pile. Address fluid spills immediately by blotting with a dry absorbent cloth without rubbing, and brush the fabric gently in the direction of the nap to restore texture.
