RESTORED HAND DYED LEATHER THREE SEATER SOFA HOWARD & SONS STYLE FEATHER FILLED

Antiques of London

This beautifully restored three-seater sofa is made in the classic Howard & Sons style, a design revered for its generous proportions, relaxed elegance, and exceptional comfort. With its deep seat, softly sloping arms, and balanced silhouette, it embodies the timeless English approach to upholstery: furniture made to be lived with, not merely looked at.

Upholstered in hand-dyed leather using a traditional English technique, the sofa offers a richness and depth unattainable through modern factory finishes. The dye is applied slowly by hand, layer by layer, allowing the pigment to sink into the hide rather than sit on the surface. This process preserves the natural grain and markings of the leather, creating subtle tonal variations and a warm, organic patina that gives the piece character and individuality. No two areas are identical, and the leather will continue to soften and evolve beautifully with age and use.

The sofa is generously feather filled, providing the signature Howard sit: inviting, supportive, and luxuriously comfortable. Internally, the frame has been fully checked and professionally restored to ensure long-term structural integrity, while maintaining the relaxed feel that defines this style. Every element of the restoration has been undertaken with respect for traditional craftsmanship and longevity.

This is not a mass-produced sofa, but a piece of English furniture heritage, restored for modern living. It offers comfort that improves over time, leather that tells a story as it ages, and a design that transcends fashion. A compelling choice for those who value authenticity, craftsmanship, and the quiet confidence of true quality.

Deliveries & Collections

Before purchasing an item, please ask us for a quote by sending us your postcode. If you are happy with the quotation, we will schedule it.

The courier that will be delivering your item will require help to unload. The price that will be quoted will always be based on this assumption. If you need two men, the initial quote will change. It usually is £20-40 on top of the original quote.

If you need an item carried upstairs, the courier charges extra. They charge £10-20 per flight. However, if you have a working elevator and the thing fits inside, then there should be no extra charge.

We prefer that the courier fees be paid by yourself directly to the company; the contract for delivery is between you and the chosen courier.

Alternatively, you can arrange the delivery yourself, or if you would like to collect, you can collect from our warehouse in Pulborough RH20 1DF.

Caring for your items

Vintage period and original items, such as leather seating, will always have a natural patina in the form of cracking, creasing and wear.

We recommend regular waxing to ensure no moisture is lost and to keep out of sunlight.

For Hand-Dyed leather items, we don't recommend placing them in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as they will dry out and fade.

For wood, we recommend regular, thorough cleaning and waxing also.
