About the Item

A contemporary re-edition inspired by the Howard Sons Bridgewater model, echoing the proportions and comfort of the original design. equally sturdy as it is comfortable. It evokes the grandeur and ease of the 19th Century English Country house, shown here covered with a sturdy Schumacher green linen. Drawing on the deep-seated comfort designs pioneered by Howard Sons in the late 19th century. While not an exact reproduction, it follows the essential principles that defined Howard’s influence on English domestic furniture: a generously sprung seat, down-filled cushions, and softly sloped arms that promote a relaxed posture. Reflecting the broader Victorian shift toward comfort and informality in the English Country House. Traditional upholstery methods are retained, including the beech wood frame, the essential siege de duvet back filling, natural fibre fillings; horsehair, coconut matting and cotton with a down cushion seat that recreates the signature comfort and softness associated with British upholstery workshops. Squared mahogany legs on brass casters reference period precedents while allowing the chair to work in both traditional and contemporary interiors. Optional matching footstool £3,250.
