A Fine Pair of 1920s Walnut and Leather Wing Chairs in the Late Baroque Manner and of Baronial Size and Scale These large wing chairs are of a scale befitting of a baronial manor house or other country mansion. Of conventional form and newly upholstered in our workshops in patinated leather aged in the traditional manner, the chairs have outscrolling arms and deep backs. The backs are buttoned for that Chesterfield look. There are removable leather squab cushions as well. The upholstery nailing on the leather contrasts beautifully against the patinated hide and the frames of the pieces are executed in finely carved walnut in the late baroque manner, the front stretchers beautifully carved with figures, probably angels or putti, flanking a heart motif and probably suggesting that the chairs were made as a his and hers marital set. The short cabriole legs are reminiscent of those seen on William and Mary period pieces. The chairs were made around 1920 when there was a renewed fascination with pieces from the age of oak and walnut, leading to dealers such as Gill and Reigate, Lenygon and Morant, Druce and Co...

A History of Howard and Sons The name of Howard and Sons is probably one of the best known and highly sought-after names in Upholstered furniture. Over the next few paragraphs, I will do my best to give you a brief history of the company. The company was started by John Howard in 1820 trading from 24 Leman St, London as a Cabinet Maker. Over the next 25 years they would make several changes of premises within the Whitechapel area. First to 27 Great Alie St (Now just Alie St) before moving a short distance to 34 Great Alie St. In 1844 the company made its first venture into upholstered furniture by opening a showroom/workshop at 36 Red lion St. This was also to be a big move towards what would be their next and most famous location. In 1848 they moved to a new address much more accustomed with the name; Berners St. London as “Cabinet Maker, Upholsterer and Decorator” under the name John Howard and Sons. The business seemed to boom at this location with workshops opening up at Tottenham St, Charlotte Mews and Fitzroy Sq and an expansion to a second Berners St building in 1853. In 1869 the company consolidated its many workshops into the one building on Cleveland St. By 1872 the company was occupying 25, 26 and 27 Berners St. These adresses would remain unchanged until 1935. During this period they became a limited company in 1899 and won the first of their Royal warrants in 1901. In 1935 the the well-established decorators Lenygon and Morant...
