Howard and Sons Style Open Armchair C1880

A fine looking late 19th period open armchair in the style of Howard and Sons, this one looking particularly attractive with the lesser seen oak frame which we prefer to the numerous mahogany ones which were created. It also benefits from being raised on, off white Cope & Collinson castors.

This one sits well with a good stance and rake. The oak frame possesses pleasing age wearing and the upholstery a trellis patterned ivory coloured flatweave fabric is good with a few fade marks, no holes etc and with tight springs and is comfortable. If you wish for new upholstery our upholsterer could complete the job for £490 plus VAT and you would require 5 metres of fabric which we are happy to assist with sourcing samples etc.

A rather handsome looking armchair C1880 ready to place or for reupholstery - the choice is yours.

Billy Hunt and Co is located on a large Victorian farm just a short country drive from the Rangemore village, a designated conservation area, which was built by Michael Thomas Bass in the 1850s to house the Bass Rangemore Estate workers consisting mainly of Victorian redbrick cottages and the occasional barn.

Our home is a classic Victorian designed and well equipped late 19th century 2 story red brick built barn of some 4000 sq feet nestled in classic English countryside, which enjoyed a careful full renovation in 2000. The estate still benefits being managed in the traditional manner with an Estate Manger, estate carpenter, gardeners etc. A rather delightful place to have as our work space.

Martina, there is no Billy at Billy hunt, has led the team since 2103 and is an interior designer qualified from The Inchbald School of Design London whose previous working life included such clients as Vertu, Aston Martin and Johnnie Walker to name a few.
