This 1920s Howard Ennismore armchair embodies the traditional English Country House style. The piece is fully upholstered in a deep crimson red velvet fabric with a soft pile texture, featuring a high wingback silhouette, generous padded armrests, and brass nailhead trim along the base. The exposed hardwood frame incorporates turned stretchers joining the legs, cabriole front legs with carved scroll feet displaying visible scuffs and surface wear from age, and rear legs. Measuring 116 cm high, 79 cm wide, and 72 cm deep with a seat height of 41 cm, the chair functions as a comfortable seating option for a living room, study, or library interior setting.

FAQs

A Howard and Sons style wingback armchair is defined by its deep seating proportions, down-filled cushioning, and distinctive upholstered silhouette featuring supportive side wings originally designed to shield seated occupants from draughts near open fireplaces.

Traditional construction relied on solid hardwood frames, typically oak or beech, fitted with steel coil springs, hand-laced webbing, natural horsehair stuffing, and heavy upholstery fabrics such as velvet or woven damask.

Authentic examples frequently feature stamped back legs, branded brass castors bearing the makers name, or original cotton ticking fabric marked with the firms Berners Street address.

Position the chair in a corner or alongside a floor lamp to create a focused reading nook, balancing the crimson fabric tone against neutral wall colours or dark timber flooring.

Regularly vacuum the fabric using a soft brush attachment to prevent dust build-up, protect the piece from direct sunlight to minimise colour fading, and seek professional cleaning for stubborn marks.
