Howard Chairs Ltd. Chaise Longues
British
Howard Chairs Ltd, an iteration of the legendary English furniture firm Howard & Sons Ltd, created luxurious seating to fit just about any taste.
Established by cabinetmaker John Howard on Leman street in London in 1820, the company was later named Howard & Sons Ltd when John’s son, George, was brought into the fold — the moniker by which the company is best known. Between 1820 and 1848, the company moved their operations numerous times, broadening their range of offerings as they went and growing increasingly popular with Victorian-era consumers.
Ever-adaptable, Howard & Sons Ltd won a patent in 1865 for a method of applying a veneer to walls in place of wallpaper. Later, the firm applied their veneering technique to wooden floors and introduced parquet flooring into their branding. They added more patents over the years, including ceilings and floors finished in their veneering. Howard & Sons Ltd exhibited and won awards in the 1878 International Expo in Paris, the 1894 Expo in Antwerp and the 1900 Paris International Exposition.
Howard & Sons Ltd continued production until 1947. During the 1950s, a London decorating firm called Lenygon & Morant began to trade under the Howard name. The company re-emerged in 1967 as Howard Chairs Ltd. Today, the brand is again known again as Howard & Sons and carries on the tradition of creating bespoke furniture from their London-based workshop.

Questions About Howard Chairs Ltd. Chaise Longues
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024Howard chairs are so expensive largely due to their quality. The British furniture maker produces each piece to order using carefully selected upholstery, wood and padding. Skilled artisans painstakingly perform much of the manufacturing by hand, adding to the cost of pieces. Plus, demand for the furniture tends to be high, which also drives up the selling price. Shop a collection of Howard & Sons chairs on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024To identify a Howard chair, search the piece for a maker's mark. Over the years, the furniture maker marked its pieces in different ways. Some chairs will have a stamp on their back legs or casters when present. Others may have a label sewn onto the Hessian, the cloth found beneath the cushion on an armchair. Stamps and labels varied over time but usually featured the maker's name. Many also displayed a style number you can cross-reference with information published on trusted online resources to learn more about the chairs. If you need assistance with the identification process, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Howard & Sons chairs and other Howard & Sons seating.

- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022To spot an authentic Howard & Sons chair, first look for a name or number on the inside of the back foot.
