FAQs

The Howard style originated in the 19th century, popularised by the renowned London firm Howard & Sons, known for their exceptional comfort, low-rolled arms, and understated elegance.

Authentic pieces typically feature a sturdy hardwood frame, traditionally constructed with coiled springs, horsehair stuffing, and high-quality upholstery supported by turned legs with brass castors.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the frame timber, traditional hand-tied spring systems, natural stuffing materials, and the presence of maker stamps on the castors or wooden components.

This sofa anchors a living space effectively when paired with contemporary minimalist lighting and neutral walls, allowing its classic proportions and tailored silhouette to stand out.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and professional cleaning for the upholstery.
