The Dean Antiques bespoke Bridgehampton armchair is a homage to the iconic Howard and Sons Bridgewater armchair, blending historical design with modern craftsmanship. To appreciate the Bridgehampton, it’s essential to understand the legacy of Howard and Sons, an esteemed British furniture maker founded in 1820. Renowned for producing some of the finest upholstered furniture, their Bridgewater armchair became a symbol of comfort, elegance, and timeless English design.
The Howard & Sons Bridgewater armchair is celebrated for its deep seat, low back, and soft, cushioned arm. Its simplicity and focus on quality have made it a beloved classic for generations. Dean Antiques has faithfully recreated this classic in their Bridgehampton armchair, an exact replica that honors the original’s design.
The Bridgehampton mirrors the Bridgewater’s deep seat, sloping back, and welcoming arms, offering the same luxurious comfort. However, what sets the Bridgehampton apart is its dedication to local craftsmanship, with each chair built and upholstered in the Cotswolds. Here, traditional craft makers employ time-honored techniques, building with high-quality hardwood and upholstering with the finest materials, to ensure that each piece is a bespoke work of art.
It’s a piece that connects past and present, blending the legacy of Howard & Sons with contemporary comfort and modern regulation.
