FAQs

Howard and Sons armchairs are renowned for their exceptional comfort, deep proportions, low-slung profiles, and expert upholstery, often featuring distinct tapered wooden legs with brass castors.

Authentic pieces typically feature sturdy beech or mahogany frames, traditional hand-tied coil spring systems, horsehair stuffing, and heavy calico or patterned upholstery.

Authenticity is often verified by stamped brass castors, stamped numbers on the rear legs, paper linings inside the upholstery, and the specific ergonomic build quality characteristic of the maker.

This type of chair works well as a statement reading seat in a living room or study, pairing traditional floral textiles with clean-lined contemporary furniture to create a balanced, layered look.

Preserve the fabric by keeping the chair away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuuming gently with a soft brush attachment, and ensuring professional restoration for any internal frame or spring issues.
