FAQs

Established in the 19th century, Howard and Sons became renowned for high-quality upholstered seating, renowned for their patented spring systems and exceptional craftsmanship, frequently supplying major country houses and royal residences.

Traditional Victorian sofas typically feature robust hardwood frames, hand-tied coil spring systems, horsehair or wool stuffing, and high-quality upholstery fabrics secured with traditional tacks.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped brass castors, ink-stamped markings on the wooden frame or legs, and serial numbers alongside the makers signature paper labels.

Pairing a patterned antique sofa with minimalist walls, neutral textures, and contemporary lighting allows the traditional piece to serve as a sophisticated focal point.

Preservation involves keeping the piece away from direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, regularly vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, and professional cleaning for delicate textiles.
