Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A Howard style open armchair is defined by its deep upholstered seat, padded open armrests supported by turned wooden uprights, and a reclined backrest. The style gained popularity during the 19th century in Britain for its focus on comfort and high-quality joinery.

These armchairs typically feature solid hardwood frames such as walnut, oak, or mahogany. The upholstery layers traditionally consist of steel coil springs, hessian webbing, horsehair padding, calico lining, and ceramic or brass castors.

Authentic pieces feature traditional mortise and tenon frame construction, hand-tacked upholstery foundations, and turned wooden legs. Look for stamped maker marks or numbers on the rear legs or brass castors.

An antique open armchair can be integrated into modern spaces as an accent piece, either reupholstered in contemporary linen fabrics or kept in a deconstructed state for textural contrast alongside minimalist side tables.

Keep the armchair away from direct heat sources and sunlight to prevent timber shrinkage and fabric fading. Dust the woodwork regularly and clean upholstery using gentle, dry vacuuming techniques.
