This Victorian armchair follows a classic nineteenth-century Howard style design, complete with a deep seat and padded Bridgewater arms. The mahogany frame displays tightly turned front legs supported by brass castors. The piece is currently stripped down to its raw structural materials, revealing beige calico upholstery on the back and seat, dark exposed stuffing along the arms, and coarse hessian fabric across the lower rails. The open structure exposes the internal wooden frame and tack lines along the arms and flanks. It measures 80 cm high, 66 cm wide, and 92 cm deep, offering a compact footprint suited to smaller reception spaces. An armchair of this scale suits a traditional country house sitting room, a home study, or a quiet reading corner, where it provides a foundation for custom fabric selection and bespoke interior schemes.

FAQs

Keep the piece away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent timber warping or textile degradation, vacuum upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment, and polish wooden legs with natural beeswax.

Position the armchair alongside contemporary furniture to create visual contrast, pairing it with clean-lined side tables, floor lamps, or neutral textured fabrics for balance.

Authentic pieces display hand-stitched upholstery under-structures, stamped brass castors, square rear legs, and often maker stamps on the inside of the rear leg or castor fittings.

Victorian upholstered armchairs typically feature hardwood frames, such as beech or birch, coil springs, hessian webbing, hair filling, turned mahogany or walnut front legs, and brass castors.

Howard style armchairs are distinguished by their deep seats, low padded arms, down-filled cushions, and turned front legs on castors, originally designed for maximum comfort by Howard & Sons in nineteenth-century London.
