This sofa is a contemporary re-edition of the classic Howard & Sons “Portarlington” model, a form closely associated with turn of the19th- 20th century English design. The proportions are faithful to the original: a softly sloped back, low scroll arms and a long seat that emphasises comfort and ease.
Shown here upholstered in Susan Deliss’ Ticking (Forest Green / Basil), the sofa combines a traditional striped textile with a restrained, natural palette. The fabric’s fine weave and tonal variation complement the understated profile of the piece without dominating it.
The construction follows established upholstery methods: a beech wood frame, hand tied coil springs, horsehair internal filling, the back and arms covered with the down filled siege de duvet method and down filled seat cushion proving the luxurious comfort this craftsmanship affords.
