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.

    • I just used 03457 740740 and worked through the menu of options. I think there are five and then held on for about 10-15 minutes until I spoke to someone who noted down the complaint. Obviously it is easier for them to handle if this is related to a tracked item or special delivery, but I just used that as the basis for a request for someone to investigate the relevant depot for our area as very poor practise seems to be set to become the norm.
    • My son likes to scooter to school, but his scooter just broke, so we are looking for a replacement. It must be sturdy and big-wheeled as he does a couple of miles there and back daily. Please let us know if you have one to sell. Thanks.
    • We have just completed the refurbishment of all windows and door externally and decoration inside of our Georgian House in Camberwell. Chris did such a marvellous job, despite the issues we encountered, the conservation nature of the work, and the demanding issues of historic replication. Patient, tidy, on time, professional, honest, straight forward, standout, cannot recommend him enough, a pleasure to work with when so many cowboys rock up, promise the stars and deliver nothing.

    • TBH, I kind of doubt that you'll find anything much less than 60cm wide as that's the UK standard to allow them to fit in the width of a normal single kitchen cabinet.  The depths do vary though and there is a depth filter on the AO.com website.
