For the restoration we managed to save all the original horsehair padding, they were both stripped back to the frame, they had all the joints checked, they were then rebuilt with as mentioned all the original padding etc, they were both then upholstered using the finest 100% natural Italian cattle hide aniline leather which was hand nail tacked in place using antique brass studs, the sofas then went to my leather polishers where they were hand dyed and antiqued six times, they were then sealed, waxed down and given one final polish, the end result is a period perfect look and feel
Howard & Sons are simply put are the finest son and armchair makers in history, the Queen even has a private collection.
