FAQs

Originating in 19th-century Britain, Howard style armchairs are characterised by deep seats, low padded arms, gentle back slants, and exceptional comfort, popularized by London cabinetmakers Howard & Sons.

Traditional 19th-century armchairs were built using solid hardwood frames, hand-tied steel coil springs, natural horsehair or fibre padding, jute webbing, and Hessian covers over turned timber legs with brass castors.

Authentic period pieces feature turned timber front legs on brass castors, heavy beech or walnut internal framing, deep seat proportions, and occasionally stamped leg numbers or castors from the maker.

A Victorian armchair can serve as a soft structural anchor when reupholstered in textured neutral linen or velvet, styled alongside contemporary floor lamps and minimalist side tables to bridge traditional and modern aesthetic schemes.

Keep wooden legs clean and conditioned with natural beeswax polish, avoid exposure to high humidity, and consult a specialist restorer when renewing webbed seating or internal horsehair stuffing to preserve frame integrity.
