Description

This is a very rare antique 19th century Howard and sons sofa. The model is known as a 'Castellane' but this could well be a one off. It has subtle differences to the more common 'Castellane' Sofa. This is larger, it has a third front leg and the back has a slightly more curved appearance. I questioned if it was in-fact a castellane when I bought it. But when I removed the old fabric I revealed written on the back cushions 'Spec Castellane' which could be interpreted in a couple of ways. First is the spec is the Catellane model, or As I have taken it, a special order Castellane sofa. Either way this is proof of the model and the clear Howard and sons stamp on the back left leg means this is a real gem. We have opted to upholster the sofa in fabulous Fermoie red striped material which I feel shows the shape off beautifully. As well as this sofa being a rare example and a great investment piece it is extremely comfy making it ideal for everyday use.
