Item Description
An incredible open Easy Armchair by renowned furniture makers Howard & Sons. c.1850
An early open‑arm Easy Chair with single turned front legs and a crescent‑buttoned back. Recently reupholstered to Howard’s original specification using their factory‑monogrammed ticking. During the strip‑down a fragment of the chair’s earlier cotton ticking was discovered; this pattern was faithfully replicated so the upholstery is historically accurate to how the chair would have left Howard’s workshop in the mid‑19th century.
The rear leg carries the earlier four‑digit Howard numerical stamp 3597 and the chair retains its original Howard‑stamped brass castors.
Full restoration and reupholstery were completed by Giles Bray of Middleton‑Bray Upholstery in March 2026.
