The Howard armchair style originated in the 19th century, popularised by the renowned London firm Howard & Sons, known for their deep-seated, comfortable upholstered furniture.

Authentic period pieces typically feature beech frames, traditional coil spring suspension, horsehair stuffing, and heavy brass castors.

Authenticity is often confirmed through stamped manufacturer marks on the wooden frame or brass castors, alongside distinctive craftsmanship characteristics like hand-tacked upholstery.

Pairing a worn leather armchair with minimalist contemporary furniture or neutral colour palettes creates a balanced focal point that adds texture and historical contrast.

Preservation involves keeping the leather away from direct sunlight, maintaining stable humidity levels, and periodically applying specialized leather conditioners to prevent drying and cracking.
