How do I identify a Howard sofa?
To identify a Howard sofa, search for the maker's mark. You can usually find it on the back of a foot or on a paper label sewn onto an inconspicuous area. Some pieces also feature H&S monogram ticking on their undersides. If you're uncertain whether your sofa is a Howard & Sons piece, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer can assist you. Find a variety of Howard & Sons sofas on 1stDibs.
