Restored Vintage Ercol Windsor Model 468 Sideboard
This medium, elm sideboard by Ercol is a British design classic from their ever-popular Windsor range. An expertly crafted piece of furniture with many of Ercol’s signature features on show, it epitomises the form and function aesthetic, where beautiful design meets practicality. Featuring two generous cupboards (one with double doors, one smaller) and two spacious drawers, it’s still such a versatile piece and would be a welcome addition to pretty much any room, fitting easily in with pieces of other styles and wood types. This particular 468 model was produced from 1962-1985 and it’s a classic with an appeal that endures generation after generation.
Description
This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in excellent, used condition. It has undergone a complete wood restoration so is in near-immaculate condition. This process involved the stripping and sanding off the original, worn finish, followed by layers of hard wax Osmo oil and finished with Gilboy’s all natural polish for a matt, durable finish. As you can see in our photos, the golden tones and beautiful grain have been brought back to life with this careful, non-invasive restoration. All three cupboard doors align and their closures work as they should. Inside the right hand cupboard there is a removeable cutlery drawer with adjustable dividers. The main cupboard features a height adjustable shelf. The cupboard interiors have some very light marks from use but are in general clean, tidy order. Both bottom drawers slide in and out with ease, and the internal woodwork here is in very good order too. The sideboard sits on its original castors which move freely and with ease. It’s a beautifully crafted piece as you would expect from Ercol with dovetail joints and the signature oval inset handles. Sadly the original label is no longer in place but we attribute with sideboard with 100% confidence – it’s unmistakably Ercol!
