A refined armchair widely attributed to Parker Knoll, a maker celebrated for combining exceptional craftsmanship with outstanding seating comfort. Its distinctive silhouette is defined by a tall, very gently reclined backrest, broad flared armrests, and elegant solid timber legs, creating a chair that feels both sophisticated and inviting.
Beyond its timeless appearance, this armchair delivers the level of comfort Parker Knoll became renowned for. It has been professionally reupholstered in a luxurious velvet that enhances both its visual appeal and creates an opulent feel. The rich fabric from Hertex Fabrics complements the chair's sculptural form while adding warmth, depth and a tactile quality that invites you to sink in and relax.
Whether placed in a living room, reading corner or bedroom, this armchair offers the perfect balance of enduring style, comfort and quality, making it as enjoyable to use as it is to admire.

Note/Disclaimer:
Our images form part of the item description. While we make every effort to restore our furniture to its original state, most pieces date from the 1950s to the late 1970s. As a result, and despite restoration, signs of their vintage nature and previous life may still be visible. Light traces of restoration may remain visible, consistent with authentic vintage furniture. In some cases, minor adjustments may also have been made during the restoration process to ensure the piece remains functional and usable. We will point out any notable aspects where possible. We encourage in-store viewing or careful review of photographs before purchase.
Transport & Handling Note:
All items are carefully wrapped and prepared for transport by us (not the courier) to ensure safe handling. Once items leave our premises, we cannot take responsibility for their treatment by third-party transporters. We strongly recommend arranging goods-in-transit insurance for comprehensive protection.
Due to the fragility of glass, we do not recommend shipping glass items outside of Gauteng.
