Parker Knoll Armchair in Sanderson fabric
Here's a 1990's Parker Knoll 720 reupholstered in Sanderson Trilby Malachite fabric.
The Parker Knoll 720 is probably familiar to every reupholsterer in Britain - for everyone else, have a look in your grandmother's house, there's probably one in the living room.
Recognise it? They retail at around £1000 new but if you find one second hand (look for the fire certs underneath to save money on the reupholstery) I can re-do it for about £500. Made by hand and cheaper than DFS.
What are you waiting for?
This was a commission.

Love your chair. We have an identical one newly re-upholstered, with the same colour material. The polish on the the feet on ours is worn off. How can I restore it? What is the best polish to use?
