FAQs

Howard and Sons armchairs are renowned for their exceptional comfort, low profiles, and meticulous traditional upholstery techniques established during the Victorian era.

These chairs typically feature beech frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and are supported by turned walnut legs fitted with brass castors stamped with the makers name.

Authenticity is verified by checking for stamped numbers on the legs, branded brass castors, paper linings bearing the makers name, and signature ticking fabric beneath the upholstery.

Pair the armchair with minimalist contemporary furniture or neutral walls to highlight its heritage craftsmanship, rich pattern, and classic silhouette.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a soft brush attachment, and professional cleaning is advised for the historic upholstery.
