The high backrest showcases deep button tufting and the frame includes scroll arms. The left back leg bears an impressed serial number. Measuring 81 cm high, 71 cm wide, and 83 cm deep with a 37 cm seat height, this traditional English country house armchair suits a living room or study as a reading or fireside chair.

FAQs

Howard and Sons armchairs from the mid-19th century are defined by their deep-seated profiles, ergonomic proportions, coil-sprung seats, and high-quality cabinetmaking.

These armchairs were constructed with solid hardwood frames, steel coil springs, natural horsehair and hair filling, turned timber legs, brass castors, and woven cotton or linen upholstery.

Authentic examples frequently feature maker stamps on the inside of the rear wooden legs, impressed lettering on the brass castors, or original printed monogram ticking fabric.

A mid-19th century armchair pairs effectively with contemporary minimalist sofas, timber side tables, and natural lighting to create a balanced, layered living space.

Regularly vacuum the upholstery fabric using a soft brush attachment, position the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent textile fading, and nourish the wooden legs with clear beeswax.
