A Howard armchair, late 19th century, upholstered in original printed fabric, on turned front legs, stamped 266 - for restoration 70 x 73cm (27 x 28in) One of the most successful and fashionable furniture companies of the 19th century. Founded in 1820 by John Howard, they moved to premises in Berners Street London W1 in 1848 trading as "cabinet makers, upholsterers and decorators". They obtained patents for wood veneer used for parquet flooring and in 1866 obtained a patent for an "elastic seat", a re-design of traditional upholstery for sofa and armchairs. Their furniture won medals at International Exhibitions throughout Europe and notable commissions included Elton Hall, Stokesay Court and Mr Vanderbilt's yacht. They worked in a variety of fashionable styles, neo-Renaissance, Anglo-Japanese and Louis XVI. Examples of their furniture can be found in the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Lot 10
A stoneware urn circa 1840 after a design by George Bullock on later stone base 132cm.; 52ins high This urn bears a striking similarity to a pair illustrated in a contemporary plate from Ackermann’s The Repository of Arts, Literature, Fashions and Politics, published between 1809 and 1828. The Repository cites George Bullock in relation to various interior and furniture designs for eight specific plates. One plate entitled ‘Grecian Furniture’ dating from May 1816 illustrates an interior setting with a sofa flanked by a pair of rectangular plinths applied with classical winged female figures surmounted by a pair of twin handled urns. With an almost identical laurel frieze and floral rosette scrolling handles, this urn only differs in that it has additional palmette decoration to its neck. A contemporary description of the contents of his Liverpool showroom given in ‘The Picture of Liverpool’ published in 1805 mentions ‘...Visitors are gratuitously admitted to a suite of rooms, in which a variety of the most fashionable and elegant furniture, in a stile of exquisite taste, is constantly displayed as well as an extensive collection of statues, figures, sphinxes and griffins in marble, bronze, or artificial stone’ This ‘artificial stone’ was presumably a high fired ceramic body similar to the type produced at the Coade Factory in the late 18th and 19th century and then carried on by J. M. Blashfield and Blanchard in the 19th Century. Literature: George Bullock, Cabinet-Maker, with introduction by Clive Wainwright, Exhibition Catalogue for H. Blairman & Sons, London and Sudley Art Gallery Liverpool, John Murray and H. Blairman & Sons, 1988.
