Stunning fully restored original pair of victorian walnut framed howard & son’s bridgewater model, berners street armchairs, each chair is fully stamped to the inside back left leg and with all the original stamped castors i have various other howard and son's armchairs and sofas listed under my other items. This is a rare pair of chairs, they are the most original examples you will ever see, and in the most collectable model, the bridgewater. The castors are all stamped howard & son's ltd london, the inside left back legs are stamped howard & son's berners street with the serial numbers these chairs have been fully restored to include having the old fabric removed, they have been lightly overstuffed with horsehair and fibre padding which is softer than usual therefore more comfortable. The leather is fully aniline, italian cattle hide leather which is upholstered plain, its then hand dyed six times, antiqued, sealed, waxed down and polished. The way the chairs have been upholstered as in the floating buttons down the inside of the arms, the rolled front edge with tufting that follows all the way to the bottom, has been taken from the earliest bridgewater armchair i have ever seen, they have been done perfectly and in keeping with the period taste howard & son’s are simply put the finest chair makers in history, the late queen even had one the largest private collections in the world. They are sublimely comfortable, you just sink in to the chair and its like being hugged by a duvet armchair dimensions height:- 85cm width:- 75cm depth:- 97.5cm seat height:- 39cm please note all measurements are taken at the widest point. this piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker.
