Original 1960s Ercol Model 383 Drop Leaf Rectangular Windsor Dining Table
An iconic piece of British mid-century design from Lucian Ercolani in fantastic condition with a newly restored table top. The Model 383 was made between 1957 – 1972 and crafted in Ercol’s signature beautiful blonde wood with an solid elm top and beech splayed legs. These Ercol tables are characterised by their softly tapered, elm wood table top that gently slopes off. And of course the patina of the elm is simply stunning. A timeless design that never goes out of fashion, an Ercol piece of furniture is for life and this particular design is one of our favourites in great order.
Description
This is an original, vintage table that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in overall very good, used condition. The table has been cleaned and the table top carefully restored to its former glory without removing all the character and age. As you can see from our photos the grain is particularly fine, following it being stripped, sanded, oiled and wax polished to give it a durable satin finish. There are some light marks to the wood on the table top which we have shown in our photos – they’re not very noticeable, only when they catch the light and they are very minor. The legs carry light signs of aging / use as you might expect where feet have knocked them but again, nothing we feel that detracts from the appeal of the table. The drop leaves are extended with Ercol’s signature, simple pull mechanism on the underside and these arms moves with ease and are in very good working order. There are no repairs or signs of damage, the table is superbly constructed and in sound, sturdy order. The original Ercol label is affixed underneath.
