Antique Upholstered Chairs
Upholstered Easy Armchair In The Manner of Howard and Sons
Very comfortable easy armchair standing on square taper legs. This chair is very similar in shape and construction to Howard and Sons Bridgewater chair. It has the same serpentine shape when viewed from the side and the same rake where the back legs are shorter than the front. More importantly it has the same built-in down filled cushions as a Howard Bridgewater, so it is just as comfortable but a little less money. The previous owner said that it was in the famly from new and bought from Heals, but there is no makers name on the chair that we can see. All in all this is a very good chair indeed, there are lots of chairs that look like a Howard chair, but it is only very occasionally that we find one that is as comfortable too.
