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 have a couple of large boxes, if you still need some.
    • Farmers aren't being gifted anything; Their heirs are being gifted millions of pound worth of income generating assets by chance of birth (in most cases). An estate that they have done nothing to earn. Most farms worth under £3m will still end up being passed on tax free. Those that do have to a pay inheritance tax will do so at just 20% on that part which is over the threshold (rather than the standard 40%), and they'll have 10 years to do so (usually it is payable immediately). So it is still preferential terms for those being gifted a multimillion pound estate So to repeat my previous question... Why do you think people coming into a massive, unearned windfall shouldn't pay any tax, but a nurse who works hard for everything they earn, should pay tax?
    • We recently used Jan at Silver Fern for some fencing and driveway works, he also built a side return shed which is now a water tight space for storage.    Would certainly recommend speaking to Jan for gardening or landscaping needs. http://www.silverfernlondon.co.uk [email protected]        
    • And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.
