Pair of Antique Original Ticking Fabric Howard & Son’s Chesterfield Armchairs

Never again will you be able to buy this exact original near pair, there is only one set in the world and these are them, they have the period completely original ticking fabric which is 140-150 years old, both inside legs are fully stamped Howard & Son’s LTD Berners Street and with the serial numbers, all castors are original and fully stamped Howard & Sons London. All the original horse hair padding is present, they are super comfortable

The chairs are totally original as mentioned, they have tonnes of wear and tear as you can see and expect given what they are, something is only ever original once, there will be plenty of “restored” versions of howard chairs out there, but none like this

For those of you that are unaware of Howard & Son’s chairs our late Queen had I think the largest private collection in the world, they are the finest hand made in England and most famous chairs in the world, highly collectable and extremely valuable, the more beaten up and original the better

These chairs are very early models and with the very rare mahogany timber frames, one chair has turned front legs and the other tapered, otherwise they are pretty much the same with a slightly different width as detailed below
