This pair of armchairs dates from 1930 and follows the English Country House style associated with Howard and Sons. Each chair stands 95 cm high, 88 cm wide, and 93 cm deep. The seating pieces are fully upholstered in a pale blue and cream floral damask fabric paired with loose back cushions and low rolled arms. The mahogany frames rest on dark turned wooden ball and claw front feet. The springs in the seat remain in excellent condition while the green and cream coloured textile shows light signs of previous use. These comfortable armchairs fit into a traditional living room or a study.

FAQs

Damask is a reversible figured fabric with a pattern woven into the warp and weft, historically favoured for luxurious upholstery on traditional European lounge seating.

Traditional armchairs feature solid hardwood frames, steel coil springs, natural fillings such as horsehair or wool, and durable woven fabric upholstery.

Authentic period armchairs often feature hand-turned wooden feet, traditional webbing or coil springing beneath the seat, and evidence of historic joinery inside the frame.

A pair of damask armchairs can be positioned opposite a neutral sofa or flanking a fireplace to introduce subtle colour, pattern, and balanced symmetry to a room.

Damask fabric should be vacuumed gently using a soft brush attachment, kept out of direct sunlight to prevent fading, and spot-cleaned using specialised textile treatments.
