Howard and Sons was established in London during the 19th century, renowned for producing high-quality upholstered furniture that became synonymous with English comfort and craftsmanship.

Authentic pieces typically feature solid beech wood frames, traditional coil spring suspension, horsehair stuffing, and heavy ticking or upholstered outer coverings.

Authenticity is often verified through stamped wooden legs, printed paper linings on the underside, stencilled serial numbers, and specific branding on the castors.

Pairing traditional upholstered seating with contemporary lighting and minimalist architecture creates a balanced look that highlights the heritage design without overwhelming the space.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low-suction attachment, and consult professional textile conservators for deep cleaning.
