FAQs

The Bridgewater model is characterised by its low, padded arms, deep seat, and gently sloping backrest. Designed originally by Howard and Sons in the nineteenth century, it became a benchmark for traditional English upholstery.

Traditional Victorian armchairs feature solid timber internal frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural horsehair padding, hessian webbing, and turned timber legs set on brass castors.

Original pieces typically feature stamped markings on the inside of the rear legs, stamped metal castors, and occasionally original printed ticking fabric on the internal frame or seat lining.

These classic armchairs can be reupholstered in contemporary textured linens or bold velvets to balance traditional proportions with modern interior palettes, suitable for living rooms, libraries, or bedchambers.

When restoring, retain original internal spring structures and stuffing where possible, treat timber legs with natural beeswax, and employ professional traditional upholstery techniques rather than modern foam.
