This 19th-century Victorian armchair follows the classic Howard style, upholstered in a light blue plaid fabric with yellow and dark blue intersecting lines. The seating arrangement includes a deep seat with a matching square plaid scatter cushion resting against the upright backrest. Low scrolled arms frame the sides, while the hardwood structure stands on turned wooden front legs fitted with brass collars and ceramic castors. Natural timber grain and wear appear on the wooden floorboards beneath the chair legs. Practical for everyday use in a living room, study or bedroom, the piece measures 83 cm high, 80 cm wide and 74 cm deep, with a seat height of 33 cm. The traditional English country house design offers comfortable seating for relaxation while maintaining a classic antique silhouette suitable for various interior settings.

FAQs

Howard style armchairs are distinguished by their deep seats, low scrolled arms, slight recline, and short turned wooden legs, often set on castors. Originally designed in the nineteenth century, this profile prioritises ergonomic comfort and relaxed seating.

Nineteenth-century armchairs typically feature solid hardwood frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural fibre stuffing such as horsehair, down or feather cushion fillings, turned timber legs, and brass wheel castors.

Authentic Howard and Sons armchairs frequently feature stamped back legs, stamped castors reading Howard & Sons London, or patterned ticking fabric carrying the makers mark on the under-cushion platform.

A Victorian armchair can be incorporated into contemporary settings by pairing it with neutral walls, minimalist side tables, or contemporary lighting to create a balanced contrast between historic craftsmanship and modern design.

Upholstered seating should be kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading. Regularly vacuum the fabric on a low setting, plump loose cushions to maintain their structure, and apply wood polish carefully to turned timber legs without contacting the textile.
