FAQs

Howard and Sons was established in London in the 19th century, renowned for producing high-quality, exceptionally comfortable upholstered furniture favoured by the British aristocracy and prominent interior designers.

Authentic pieces feature robust beech wood frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, hair and wool stuffing, and traditional hand-stitching covered with quality ticking and upholstery.

Authenticity is typically verified by stamped manufacturer marks on the back legs, stamped brass castors, and characteristic serial numbers printed on the webbing or lining.

Pair the armchair with minimalist modern lighting and neutral walls to let the heritage textile and classic silhouette serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, and have the piece professionally cleaned by specialists in antique textiles.
