FAQs

Howard and Sons was a renowned London-based upholstery and cabinet-making firm established in the 19th century, famous for pioneering ergonomic, deeply sprung seating designs that became synonymous with comfort and quality in fine British homes.

Authentic period sofas feature robust beechwood frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, hair and wool stuffing, and traditionally cast brass castors stamped with maker details.

Authenticity is typically verified by stamped maker marks on the back legs, serial numbers, characteristic ticking fabric underlinings, and the distinct, high-quality traditional joinery and springing methods.

Pair the traditional floral or striped upholstery with contemporary minimalist walls and neutral textures to create a sophisticated balance between historic craftsmanship and modern living.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment with a brush guard, and have professional textile conservators handle any deep cleaning or structural repairs.
