Description

Very comfortable 19th century Howard & Sons style reading or library armchair.

Super quality frame and turned mahogany legs with castors to the front. This is an armchair you will happily use all evening, or afternoon!

The current upholstery is vintage, so you can see there are areas of wear and sun bleaching, so this would be a good choice of armchair to use whilst you consider samples for reupholstery.

The interior of the seat springs and webbing etc are all good, so it would just be a re cover in your fabric…you would need around 5m to 6m of fabric.

The chair is offered as you see it here, hence the low price for this style and quality of armchair.

Measuring:

Height 35" / 89cm

Width 30" / 76cm

Depth 40" / 102cm

Dealers Notes

I can arrange delivery to you, whether you are within the UK or require an international delivery service, please do get in touch…as a mainland UK guide, a delivery for something around the size of a chest of drawers within approx 150 miles will be £75 to you, but if you if you are in Scotland, Wales, Ireland or Cornwall please get in touch to confirm delivery costs!

Based in Uppingham, Rutland…having been in the business for 25 years focusing on mostly French and English decorative antiques and interiors from the 18th to the early 20th century, hopefully a collection you will enjoy browsing and hopefully re home some of my finds!

Viewing here in Uppingham is very welcome in my spacious barn studio but also I have a showroom based within the Uppingham Antiques Centre, which is well worth a visit and have a good lunch in town too!

Any queries about anything you have seen or about delivery, don't hesitate to get in touch.

FAQs

The Howard style originated in the 19th century, popularised by the renowned London firm Howard & Sons, known for introducing exceptionally comfortable, deeply sprung lounge seating.

Authentic pieces typically feature a sturdy beechwood frame, hand-tied coil spring systems, horsehair stuffing, and traditional hessian and webbing upholstery.

Authentic pieces often exhibit stamped brass castors, makers marks on the back legs, traditional hand-stitched detailing, and specific proportions characteristic of Victorian manufacturing.

This versatile seating option pairs effectively with both minimalist modern aesthetics and traditional schemes, often used as a reading chair or balanced against clean architectural lines.

Preservation involves regular gentle vacuuming with a soft brush attachment, keeping the piece out of direct sunlight to prevent fabric fading, and professional cleaning for the textiles.
