This Victorian armchair dates from around 1870 in the Howard style, featuring an open padded design with a deep buttoned backrest and low deep seating. It is constructed from a walnut frame upholstered in a cream patterned floral fabric, complemented by turned wooden arm supports and legs finished with white ceramic castors. The piece measures 76 cm high by 72 cm wide and 88 cm deep, with a seat height of 31 cm. This chair requires restoration and reupholstery, though the arms and back retain their original fillings. In a contemporary home, this armchair works well in a traditional living room or library as a low accent seat once restored. The exposed turned walnut elements and classical proportions bring authentic English Country House character to a reading nook or fireside seating arrangement.

FAQs

Originating in 19th-century Britain, Howard style armchairs are renowned for deep seating, padded arms, and upholstery craftsmanship pioneered by makers such as Howard & Sons.

These chairs typically feature hardwood frames crafted from walnut or mahogany, coil springs, horsehair stuffing, brass or ceramic castors, and cotton or wool fabric upholstery.

Authentic period examples exhibit solid hardwood turned legs, original ceramic or brass castors, hand-tied coil spring construction, and traditional upholstery detailing like deep buttoning.

Position the armchair as a focal accent piece alongside a minimalist contemporary side table, or place it in a traditional library corner to introduce visual texture and heritage charm.

Vacuum textile surfaces gently using a soft brush attachment, keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and nourish exposed wooden elements with natural beeswax.
