19th Century Howard Style Open Armchair- reupholstered in velvet

About the Item

A superb 19th Century Howard-style open armchair, embodying the refined comfort and craftsmanship characteristic of late Victorian English design. The chair features an elegantly shaped oak frame with gentle curves and turned front legs, offering both durability and warmth. Recently reupholstered in Claremont Fabrics’ luxurious ‘Sibton – Russet’ velvet, a rich linen and cotton mix, it combines period authenticity with modern comfort. The Howard style is celebrated for its inviting silhouette—deep seats, low scroll arms, and softly rolled back—a look that defined the great English country houses of the 19th century. This armchair captures that effortless elegance, blending antique charm with timeless versatility. Ideal as a statement piece in a sitting room or study, it exemplifies enduring British craftsmanship and design heritage.
