Howard and Sons are now most famous for the comfort and elegance of their easy armchairs and sofas but they were also one of the most successful and well known of the big Victorian cabinet-making firms. Begun by John Howard as early as 1820, by 1854 he had established himself in large premises in Berners Street, Soho. Exhibiting widely, the firm built up a formidable business and by the end of the century they were able to supply the full range of country house furniture, as demonstrated by the group at Stokesay Court, sold in Sotheby's house sale, 28 September - 1 October 1994.
