FAQs

Howard and Sons armchairs are mid-to-late nineteenth-century upholstered seats renowned for deep seating profiles, low proportions, coil spring construction, and turned hardwood legs fitted with stamped brass castors.

Traditional Victorian armchairs utilized hardwood frames, predominantly walnut, mahogany, or oak, stuffed with natural materials such as horsehair, fibre, and feather padding over iron coil springs and hessian webbing.

Authentic pieces frequently display stamped marks on the inner rear legs or castors, such as Howard & Sons Ltd or Berners St, alongside distinctive monogrammed ticking or calico under-upholstery.

Victorian armchairs can be left in a deconstructed hessian state for an industrial aesthetic or reupholstered in neutral linen or bold velvet to serve as an accent chair in living rooms and bedrooms.

Ensure the frame remains in a dry, stable environment away from direct heat sources to prevent wood splitting, vacuum upholstery gently with a soft brush attachment, and clean brass castors with specialized metal polish.
