FAQs

The Howard style is characterised by low, deep-seated proportions, scrolled arms, and exceptional comfort, setting a standard for nineteenth-century English upholstery.

Authentic pieces typically feature sturdy beech frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy hessian scrim, supported on turned wooden legs with brass castors.

Authentication involves inspecting the internal webbing, traditional hand-stitching techniques, stamp markings on the legs or castors, and the distinctive heavy spring construction.

Exposed hessian frames add rustic texture and industrial charm, pairing well with minimalist contemporary spaces or serving as a blank canvas for bespoke upholstery.

Preservation requires keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent wood drying, gently vacuuming exposed hessian, and treating wooden components with appropriate conservation wax.
