A rare, sought-after Ercol dining table with exquisite form. A Mid-Century Ercol, solid Elm and Beechwood dining table.
The elegant table, one of Lucian Ercolani’s most ingenious designs, the "Ercol Grand Windsor Model 444" dining table is extendable with a solid Elmwood top and solid Beech splayed legs. The table in its extended form measures over 2 meters with round edges, and the 5th leg creates additional support when fully extended. Ercol is a British furniture manufacturer that started producing quality bentwood furniture in the 1920s.
Exquisite extended or closed up. The six-seater table can easily seat eight people once extended. It has the original, removable double-hinged extension leaf intact, which can be stored underneath the tabletop.
The wood has been carefully restored to enhance the original look and is in excellent vintage condition. We have stripped off the old varnish that tends to yellow over time, did repairs to the extendable section and sanded it down to the bare wood. Only sections underneath were left in it's original form to maintain the table's integrity & originality, yet scratches were removed and re-sealed. Minor previous wear here & there that we repaired. Only one section on the extendable leaf is more noticeable, but overall this Ercol table is in great restored condition.
We understand the importance of preserving the character of these pieces without over-restoring them. However, the natural “yellowing” that occurs over time no longer complements most modern interiors. Additionally, the table required restoration, particularly on the top, to ensure its beauty and functionality are fully renewed.
Table: 222cm extended (152 not extended) L x 90.5cm W X 71cm H.
The table excellently pairs with a set of Cesca-style cantilever dining chairs in the manner of Marcel Breuer. Black powder-coated metal, black stained cane, and solid beechwood frames. They are sold separately and can be viewed here
