The Howard and Sons armchair style originated in the Victorian era, renowned for deep, sprung seats, low profiles, and exceptional comfort engineered through advanced coil-spring techniques.

These chairs typically feature beech frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, hessian webbing, and are finished with turned timber legs on brass castors.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped brass castors, ink-stamped numbers on the back legs, and manufacturer paper labels underneath the webbing.

This armchair anchors a living space effectively when paired with contemporary minimalist elements, mixing classic upholstery patterns with clean-line modern architecture.

Preservation requires regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, professional dry cleaning for fabric maintenance, and keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fibre degradation.
