About the Item

These luxurious chairs are deep, comfortable, and upholstered in top-quality country house fabric. They feature a refined shape, with elegantly curving arm supports and backs that add to their appeal. The overall silhouette, along with their relatively low height, recalls the famous Bridgewater series of designs by Howard & Sons. Additionally, the combination of simple back legs and finely carved front legs with floral detailing is characteristic of this esteemed firm’s craftsmanship. Giltwood tub armchairs are far rarer than their oak, walnut, or mahogany counterparts, and the quality of these chairs is exemplary throughout. Howard & Sons’ seat furniture is highly sought after for its distinguished design and impeccable craftsmanship, and these chairs stand as outstanding examples of their work.
