FAQs

A Howard style armchair is a traditional upholstered lounge chair modelled after the iconic 19th-century designs of London cabinetmaker Howard & Sons. These chairs are renowned for their comfortable proportions, featuring deep seats, low padded arms, and short turned front legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic and traditional Howard style chairs are constructed using solid hardwood frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair filling, and down or feather-filled seat cushions. Front legs are typically crafted from turned walnut, mahogany, or oak and fitted with solid brass castors.

Original Howard & Sons pieces often feature stamped markings on the inside of the rear legs or on the brass castors themselves. Additionally, authentic pieces frequently retained branded monogram ticking on the undersides or inner canvas lining.

A Howard style chair can be integrated into contemporary spaces by upholstering it in neutral linen, boucle, or bold geometric fabrics. Placing it alongside modern side tables and minimalist lighting creates a balanced contrast between traditional craftsmanship and modern design.

To maintain the shape and comfort of feather-filled cushions, plumping and rotating them regularly is essential. The timber legs and brass castors should be dusted with a microfibre cloth, while metal components can be occasionally polished to prevent excessive tarnish.
