Measuring 82 cm high, 86 cm wide, and 99 cm deep, the chair suits a living room, library, or reading corner in an English Country House setting.

FAQs

A Howard style armchair is inspired by nineteenth-century designs featuring a deep seat, low scrolled arms, a sloped back, and turned wooden legs fitted with brass castors. This profile was designed for optimal comfort and relaxed seating.

Traditional construction utilises hardwood timber frames, typically oak or beech, stuffed with horsehair and feather cushions. The upholstered seats are supported by coil springs and rest on turned mahogany or walnut legs with brass castors.

Authentic nineteenth-century pieces by Howard and Sons often feature stamped marks on the inner rear legs or castors, along with original monogrammed ticking fabric beneath outer upholstery layers.

Position the armchair alongside contemporary neutral sofas to create visual balance, or place it in a reading nook paired with a floor lamp and timber side table.

Vacuum upholstery regularly using a soft brush attachment, clean timber legs with suitable wood polish, and occasionally oil the brass castors to maintain smooth movement.
