FAQs

Howard and Sons was a renowned London upholstery firm established in the 19th century, celebrated for pioneering supreme comfort and patented spring systems in their signature easy chairs.

Authentic pieces typically feature sturdy beechwood frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and traditional hand-stitched upholstery techniques.

Authenticity is verified through stamped wooden leg furniture, stamped brass castors, makers marks on the webbing or lining, and specific structural proportions characteristic of the maker.

Pair the piece with clean-lined contemporary furniture or minimalist walls to create a sophisticated contrast that highlights the historic craftsmanship and patterned upholstery.

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuum using a soft brush attachment, and consult a professional conservator for traditional upholstery repairs.
