sold - vintage parker knoll utility chair circa 1940's

I bought this not long ago, with a view to minor restoration and home usage.


The chair is all original, including upholstery, exactly as it was back when it was made during the 1940s. This was a utility chair, which is indicated by the Parker Knoll stamp underneath the chair - CC41. More info here about utility furniture....plus a beautiful example of full restoration. http://number10upholstery.co.uk/portfolio-item/1948-utility-furniture-parker-knoll/


Unfortunately, the seat isn't comfortable for me, as I am a heavy person, and it would need re-stuffing for me. It might be perfectly comfy for someone who is much lighter. Otherwise, this is all that might need doing. Underneath, there were two issues with spring attachments. I made a temp fix with two screw eyes, which is actually very solid. I simply don't have the time and knowledge to give it the TLC it needs for me to be able to use it.


I paid £160 for it, and would like to recoup all, or as near as possible. It is a beautiful chair, and they sell for far more when restored.


I am in SE22, and would be happy to deliver free, by prior arrangement.

    • A slightly delayed review but another one to echo Niko's praises. I had an issue with a cistern that needed replacing and Niko was attentive and did a great job. He was very diligent, explained what he was doing and fixed issues from a previous plumber's work. I will definitely ask for his help again if I have any issues in the future.
    • In good condition.  The seal should be intact.  Thanks
    • Used John to plaster the hallway ceiling in my house, he arrived on time and did the job to a very high standard. He tidied up after himself (my wife was super impressed) . The price was as agreed and I could not recommend John enough. I would 100% use his skills again.
