Parker Knoll Rocking Chair, Florian series, which has been fully restored. Vintage, Retro, Mid Century. Restored in bespoke patchwork fabric and Laura Ashley beige linen fabric.

This chair was designed in 1968, and is in the Parker Knoll archives. It is beautifully made.

I acquired the chair from a lady who received it as her wedding gift in the 1960s. So it has only had one owner and is in very good condition.

It has the original tension springs, but the fire retardant foam cushions are new, and the covers are bespoke, with patchwork borders.

The main fabric is Laura Ashley upholstery fabric in beige linen.

The cushions are reversible/double- sided, so if one side gets damaged you can turn them over to the other side.

The wood has been stripped and polished.

Dimensions:

Height: 95cm

Width: 66cm

Depth: 83cm

Very comfortable.

You can sit on the chair and the patchwork detail can still be seen on the sides of the chair. Could be used for knitting, nursing, sitting etc

£375 please

Collection from Herne Hill

  Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED. At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.

  The street directory is on Ancestry and you'll need a subscription to access. It's reasonably easy to navigate though you have to find the page you're looking for by a combination of trial and error/guesswork. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageviewer/collections/61265/images/47056_263021009499_1592-00159?usePUB=true&_phsrc=Soz1793 There is though also a general search page for London directories where the street name can be entered in the keyword field and results will take you to the specific pages. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/search/collections/61265/
