Description

A superb set of six Gothic Revival dining chairs by Howard & Sons, London. The chairs are made of oak and stand on turned fluted legs to the front where the fluting has been highlighted with a darker stain and outswept back legs. The very deep seats have been professionally upholstered to a high standard using the finest of webbing materials and covered with a monogram H&S ticking. The serial number is stamped on the inner rear of the back leg to one of the chairs along with the original Howard & Sons label which has part worn away. The part label shows the address of 26 & 27 Berners Street which dates the chairs between 1866 - 1869. I have added an image of what the label would have looked like. The company expanded in 1869 to become 25,26,27 Berners Street. The chairs retain their original waxed finish. All loose joints have been re-glued and professionally upholstered.

Our stock items are carefully selected by myself and I only buy good quality items which may need small repairs, a clean and a polish. I don't buy any items that need major restoration, but any loose joints are re-glued. Occasionally, some items may have small amounts of historic extinct woodworm, never enough to affect the integrity of the item, and is always treated as a matter of course. We try to describe and show our items the best we can, and we use studio lighting which sometimes lightens the colour slightly on some of the furniture. All lamps are rewired and PAT tested. Every item we sell we would have in our home (some of them have been!!) It is impossible to describe every item fully, so please feel free to email or call for more information or any queries you may have. The items will have no major defects but will show signs of normal age related wear and use. I would prefer the items to show its life rather than strip it and re-polish it, as it's only original once!
