A matched pair of Edwardian country house armchairs in the Howard & Sons style provides deep seating with low-slung profiles. Each armchair possesses scroll arms, tapered mahogany legs with brass castors, and feather-filled cushions upholstered in plain warm beige fabric. The chairs stand 76 cm high, 78.8 cm wide, and 94 cm deep. Position these generous armchairs in a traditional drawing room, study, or library to create a classic country house aesthetic. The low profiles and comfortable proportions suit reading, relaxing, or pairing beside a fireplace. Both pieces retain their original horsehair fillings and require professional re-upholstering to complete their restoration.

FAQs

Edwardian country house armchairs feature deep seating, low profiles, feather cushion fillings, and rolled arms, inspired by late Victorian and early 20th-century leisure designs popularised by makers such as Howard & Sons.

These chairs typically utilise solid hardwood framing, coil springs, natural hair or fibre padding, down feather cushions, and metal or brass castors fitted to turned wood legs.

Look for stamped leg markings or castor fittings, traditional coil spring upholstery visible beneath the frame, beech or walnut framing, and hand-tied webbing.

Position a pair around a low coffee table or flanking a fireplace to create a balanced seating area, combining historical forms with contemporary neutral textiles.

Regularly plump down-filled cushions, vacuum the fabric using a soft brush attachment, keep timber frame elements conditioned with wax, and avoid placement near direct heat sources or prolonged sunlight.
