This Edwardian reclining daybed dates from 1900 and originates from England. Constructed from timber and brass, the piece combines warm beige calico upholstery with turned walnut legs terminating in original brass castors. The daybed features an adjustable backrest with a tufted seat cushion, exposed structural lining, and horsehair innards to the back and wings. Measuring 88 cm high, 74 cm wide, and 145 cm deep with a 45 cm seat height, it functions as a comfortable seating and reclining option. Suitable for placement in a traditional living room, library, or bedroom, the daybed delivers classic English country house style. The exposed framing, calico fabric, and castors highlight the period construction and historic materials. An adjustable mechanism permits multiple reclining levels for daily use, while the traditional form and muted palette integrate easily with existing period or transitional interiors.

FAQs

A Howard and Sons reclining daybed is a late 19th or early 20th-century upholstered lounge seat featuring an adjustable backrest mechanism, designed for relaxation in private sitting rooms and drawing rooms.

Traditional construction utilised solid hardwood frames such as walnut, beech, or oak, padded with natural horsehair, coil springs, and jute webbing before receiving calico and decorative upholstery fabric.

Authentic pieces typically feature stamped marks or serial numbers on the inner rear wooden legs or brass castors, alongside distinctive internal coil spring upholstery construction.

Positioning a daybed alongside a window or within an open-plan living area creates a dedicated lounging zone while maintaining unobstructed sightlines across the room.

Maintain fabric by vacuuming gently with a soft brush attachment, polish visible timber elements with natural beeswax, and keep the piece away from direct heat sources to prevent timber shrinkage.
