FAQs

Howard style sofas originated in 19th-century Britain and are defined by deep-seated proportions, low scrolled arms, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. The curved variation incorporates a crescent silhouette designed to frame conversational seating areas.

Traditional construction utilised solid beech or birch frames, coil-sprung seats, jute webbing, brass castors, and natural fillings including horsehair, wool felt, and feather-filled cushions.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped rear legs or castors with the manufacturers mark, heavy hardwood internal framing, hand-stitched hair profile edges, and distinct low arm proportions.

Curved sofas break linear room arrangements when positioned away from walls or centred around circular coffee tables. Re-upholstering the frame in contemporary neutral linen or wool velvet integrates historical forms into modern spaces.

Maintenance requires keeping the frame away from direct heat sources to prevent wood movement, gently vacuuming fabrics with a soft brush attachment, and employing specialist upholstery restorers for frame or spring repairs.
