Today I am finally restoring our forgotten 'Froxfield' Parker Knoll Chair from the 1950s. A vintage family piece of furniture we've had for the last 20 years its had a journey filled with mold and rust and deserves some tlc. Come along with me as I undertake this chair restoration from start to finish. You will learn a brief history of parker knoll as well as the 'froxfield; chair itself, the best way to reuse materials such as horse hair and kapok and how to reupholster a chair from the frame up to finished article.
I hope you enjoy this video and learnt something along the way as did I.

What do you think of the finished chair?

You did such a wonderful job, I love the fabric choices and the colors. But the best part, it looks comfortable and inviting to sit in. Well done!

Beautiful work. Good, clear information. Lovely result. Makes me want to tackle a job I've put off for years. Hint: Cut piping fabric on the bias to accommodate tight curves.

I love you long form content more than the shorts, would love to see more of this and the doll/felt repairs, etc. You have the beginnings of something beautiful.

Amazing work! Cant imagine all the frustration at times and other feelings on the journey to the final product. This is really well shot i might add. The lighting as you work and we see hints of the final product really sets the mood for the dark finish of the wood and the classic tweed material for the chair itself. This is a classic video to watch with a cup of coffee on a rainy day. Well done!

I LOVE the bold fabric choice. Personally, not a huge fan of the solid velvet seat; I would have done it in the tweed as well, with the velvet piping. But, it does go well, and you did a beautiful job.

I agree not my first choice would have loved if there was enough fabric to do the seat. Dog paws would have ripped at the wool a bit over time too so velvet will wear a bit better in this household.

great job, tweed looks lovely

Amazing! I've got one of these chairs to recover (my first time dabbling in upholstery) though thankfully the padding is still good. I think I'll add a layer of Dacron just to plump it up a bit. I'm using Emma Shipley's Lynx velvet fabric in navy

Wow! What a splendid job - and the tartan is very en point. Personally, I would have liked the seat cushion in the same fabric. Otherwise, well done!

If you would like more information on the Parker Knoll Froxfield 749 I worked at the factory and have a lot more details

Sure that's sounds really cool.

@TasminBassettArt the Froxfield stayed in production right up until the factory closed its doors in the early 2000's. Your chair is one of the older ones. It has a beech frame that was finished in mahogany, this was a mahogany stain, mahogany tinted sealer with a clear lacquer topcoat ( all pre cat). It was inspected by Mick Thornton. The later version a foam inner back and foam arms.
