Vintage Parker Knoll 749 Froxfield Armchair – Original Tapestry Fabric

Description

I’ve had this Parker Knoll 749 Froxfield armchair for years — it’s one of those pieces that just feels right in a retro or classic home. It’s the original tapestry fabric, which gives it that warm, vintage look I love. The floral pattern is still vibrant, and the armchair has all the original markings inside, which is a real treat for anyone who appreciates the details.

It’s not perfect — there’s a bit of fraying at the top edge of the fabric (visible in photos), and the wood arms and legs have a few light marks from years of use. But honestly, it’s not just about being flawless — it’s about having character. I’ve used it in my living room for years, and it’s still super comfortable.

It’s a bit of a find now, especially with this exact model becoming harder to come by. If you’re into vintage design or looking for something to restore and give a personal touch to a room, this one’s a keeper.

It’s from Axbridge, Somerset — no issues with delivery.
I’m not charging much for it — £45 — but it’s really just what I’d do if I were selling something I’ve genuinely loved over time.
