Library Chair

The chair with old cover

Here is a post about a Library Chair whose appearance changed little but there was unexpected trauma en route!

Seat stuffings lifted

One helpful change, but nothing to do with the chair, was the addition of a seat cushion to raise the seat height.

Winged Chair – A Restoration Project

Chair in original cover

This attractively shaped winged chair probably dating from around the middle of the last century when Parker Knoll, G-Plan and others started using the tension springs that support the seat of this chair.

While the chair and seat cushions needed new covers, the seat front was falling off, other joints needed repairing, springs needed reseating and the polish work was dulled – definitely a restoration project.

Modern Parker Knoll

Parker Knoll still continues to make excellent furniture in England after 150 years. We have documented the restoration of an older model, the PK708, and recovering of another older model, the PK988.

Chair on arrival

Here we have a much more modern Parker Knoll winged armchair. A new cover was wanted even though the original was still in good shape.

The modern build gives rise to many changes of materials used and construction methods – lots to learn!

Winged Chair

The chair on arrival

On the surface, this enormous Winged Chair looked sound. But problems lurked inside!
