Manor-Worthy Furniture from Christopher Howe

March 6, 2012

Christopher Howe trained as a sculptor, and has been collecting rare furniture and objects for decades (his clients have included Lucien Freud, who favored his "esoterically shabby chairs to use in his portraits").

Howe sells his antiques—ranging from 18th-century English country house furniture to 19th-century Arts and Crafts items to 20th-century industrial pieces—as well as his own line of custom furniture and lighting from his shop on Pimlico Road in London. We especially like his upholstered pieces, which are created in the traditional fashion: with hand-stitched horsehair and down filling. Go to Howe to see the range.
