This early 20th century Howard and Sons Becket sofa is an English Country House piece. The two-seater frame stands on dark tapered wood legs fitted with small round brass castors, and supports scroll arms and loose seat cushions upholstered in a sage green patterned fabric over original ticking. The sofa measures 81 cm high, 175 cm wide, and 100 cm deep, with a seat height of 50 cm, a seat width of 131 cm, and a seat depth of 70 cm. Placed in a sitting room, library, or drawing room, this seating provides a comfortable option for everyday relaxation while maintaining a traditional aesthetic.

FAQs

Howard and Sons sofas are characterised by deep seating, ergonomic coil-sprung construction, down feather padding, and low-slung profiles originating from 19th and 20th-century London workshops.

These upholstered pieces typically feature solid hardwood frames, steel coil springs, natural hair or feather fillings, textile upholstery, and tapered wooden legs fitted with brass castors.

Authentic pieces frequently display stamped maker marks or serial numbers on the rear wooden legs or castors, alongside branded monogrammed ticking fabric under the seat cushions.

A traditional settee can be incorporated into contemporary settings alongside simple lighting fixtures and minimalist side tables, allowing the sofas silhouette to form a focal point.

Fabric upholstery should be vacuumed gently using a soft brush attachment, while wooden legs and brass castors require periodic dusting with a dry microfibre cloth and specialized wax.
