FAQs

Established in London during the 19th century, Howard and Sons became renowned for pioneering comfort through innovative spring-loaded upholstery techniques and stamped brass castors, supplying high-end pieces to prominent residences.

Authentic pieces typically feature robust beech or mahogany frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and traditional webbed bases, ensuring exceptional durability and structural integrity.

Verification involves inspecting the legs for stamped manufacturer numbers, checking the brass castors for maker marks, and examining the traditional upholstery webbing and handwriting on the frame linings.

Pairing a heritage upholstered piece with minimalist modern furniture creates a sophisticated contrast, allowing the traditional pattern and craftsmanship to serve as a focal point in a living room or study.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment, and consult a professional conservator specialising in period textiles for any structural or upholstery repairs.
