Parker Knoll Penshurst Wing Chair – A British Classic Since the 1930s

The Parker Knoll Penshurst Wing Chair is one of the most iconic and enduring designs in British furniture history. Originally designed in the 1930s and refined over decades, it remains one of the best-selling wing chairs in the UK — offering timeless style and unrivalled sitting comfort.

Handcrafted in the UK, the Penshurst features Parker Knoll’s patented tension spring system, developed by founder Frederick Parker to deliver firm, supportive seating that holds its shape for years. Each chair is built using a solid hardwood beech frame, engineered for durability and backed by a 25-year manufacturer’s guarantee.

With its sculpted high back, elegant wings, and retro silhouette, the Penshurst Wing Chair fits beautifully into both traditional and contemporary interiors. Whether placed in a bay window, reading corner or formal lounge, it adds instant character and comfort.
