FAQs

A Howard style armchair is defined by a low profile, deep seat, angled backrest, and padded armrests raised on turned wooden posts. Originally popularised by Howard & Sons in the 19th century, this design emphasises deep-seated comfort and relaxed proportions.

Traditional Victorian armchairs featured solid hardwood frames, usually mahogany or walnut, stuffed with horsehair and coconut fibre over steel coil springs. Upholstery materials included heavy velvets, silks, and wool damasks, supported by turned timber legs mounted on brass castors.

Authentic period armchairs often feature makers stamps on the rear leg or castors, hand-stitched upholstery under-layers, and hand-turned wooden legs. The presence of original brass castors and traditional webbing under the seat frame further confirms age.

Place the chair alongside contemporary minimalist furniture to create visual contrast, or pair it with a sleek floor lamp in a reading nook. The classic silhouette complements neutral colour palettes while providing structured, comfortable seating.

Vacuum the velvet regularly using a soft brush attachment to remove dust and maintain fabric pile, avoiding liquid contact to prevent water spots. Clean turned wooden legs with a dry microfibre cloth and apply natural beeswax occasionally to protect the finish.
