FAQs

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently with a soft brush attachment, and have professional textile conservators handle any deep cleaning.

Pairing a classic patterned sofa with minimalist contemporary surroundings creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights its historical craftsmanship.

Authenticity is usually confirmed by stamped brass castors, manufacturer stamps on the frame legs, and serial numbers written on the webbing.

These pieces typically feature solid beech or mahogany frames, traditional hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and high-quality ticking or upholstery fabrics.

Howard and Sons was a premier London upholstery firm established in the 19th century, renowned for defining the comfort and standard of Victorian and Edwardian upholstered furniture.
