This late 19th-century armchair is inspired by the style of Howard & Son, taking the form of a comfortable seating piece with low rolled arms, a deep seat cushion, and square tapered front legs with shaped sides. The hardwood frame stands on original brass castors and is upholstered in pink floral pattern fabric, complemented by an original feather seat cushion and a replaced feather back cushion. The overall dimensions measure 80 cm high, 80 cm wide, and 90 cm deep, with a seating height of 41 cm. Placed in a living room, study, or traditional English country house interior, this Victorian armchair provides a practical and inviting lounge seat. The classic profile and muted tones suit relaxed residential spaces, reading corners, or drawing rooms where traditional seating is required for daily use.

FAQs

Named after the nineteenth-century cabinetmakers Howard & Sons, this style is defined by its deep seating, low rolled arms, and swept-back profile typical of English lounge chairs.

Traditional pieces feature coil-sprung seats, solid hardwood frames, down or feather-filled loose cushions, tapered wooden legs, and brass casters.

Authentic Howard & Sons armchairs often feature stamped marks or numbers on the rear legs or casters, alongside branded ticking fabric beneath the loose seat cushion.

Position a patterned Howard-style armchair alongside clean-lined contemporary side tables or place it as a textured accent piece next to a neutral sofa.

Regularly vacuum fabric upholstery using a soft brush attachment, plump down cushions to maintain their structure, and spot-clean stains with specialised fabric cleaners.
