FAQs

Howard and Sons was a prominent London upholstery firm established in the 19th century, renowned for creating exceptionally comfortable, deeply sprung lounge chairs and sofas using traditional stuffing and high-grade ticking or fabric.

Authentic period pieces feature hand-tied coil spring systems, beech frames, horsehair and wool stuffing, traditional webbed bases, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors, often bearing stamped makers marks.

Authentication relies on examining the stamped numbers on the back legs, the specific style of brass castors stamped with the makers name, the weight and density of the traditional stuffing, and the characteristic low-slung, ergonomic proportions.

These classic chairs work effectively as statement reading seats or low-profile lounge pieces, blending seamlessly into contemporary schemes when paired with neutral walls, natural textures, and modern lighting to balance the heritage aesthetic.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a low-suction attachment to remove dust, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and employing professional conservation cleaners for any remedial upholstery maintenance.
