FAQs

Howard and Sons was a renowned London-based cabinet maker and upholsterer established in the 19th century, famous for producing exceptionally comfortable, high-quality seating that became a staple of the English country house style.

Authentic pieces typically feature robust beech frames, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and heavy hessian webbing, combined with high-grade upholstery and turned wooden legs mounted on brass castors.

Authenticity is often verified by stamped brass castors, makers marks or paper labels on the underside or frame, specific structural proportions, and the signature high-density internal stuffing methods characteristic of the firms workshops.

Pair the traditional piece with clean-lined contemporary furniture or minimalist architecture to create a balanced, layered look, allowing the historic craftsmanship and patterned textile to serve as a focal point.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment with a soft brush, and consult a professional restorer specialising in traditional upholstery for any structural or fabric repairs.
