FAQs

Howard and Sons sofas from the 19th century are characterised by their deep, comfortable proportions, low backs, and superior traditional stuffing techniques that set a standard for Victorian upholstery.

They typically feature sturdy beech or pine frames, hand-tied coil springs, horsehair stuffing, and are supported by turned mahogany or walnut legs often featuring castors.

Authentic pieces often feature stamped brass castors, numbered legs, and printed ticking fabric bearing the makers name and London address.

Pairing this traditional heritage piece with contemporary minimalist lighting and neutral walls creates a balanced, layered aesthetic that highlights its craftsmanship.

Protect the fabric from direct sunlight to prevent fading, vacuum gently using a low suction attachment, and consult a specialist restorer for traditional spring or stuffing repairs.
