Set of Four Original Midcentury Ercol Model 608 Kitchen Dining Chairs

Ercol’s model 608 kitchen chairs are the big brother of the smaller, more compact 391 dining chairs. A variant of this more commonly seen design, you can see the similarities but the 608 chairs feature a much taller, elegant back and four spindles that reach down below the seat line, joining the back stretcher. Their seats are wider too so if you’re looking for comfortable dining chairs for long, lazy socialising, these are a better option than the 391s in our view. This particular set is in great shape, having been carefully and thoughtfully restored, so as not to strip away their history and character.

Description

This original, vintage set of four chairs is ‘sold as seen’. All the chairs are in overall good – very good, used condition. They have been cleaned and sensitively restored. This process isn’t so invasive as we don’t want to remove all signs of their age and history, but the original finish has been stripped, not sanded, then the chairs have been oiled and waxed. It means there are still minor knocks and marks here and there as shown in our photos. There is one small, discreet repair to the top bar of one of the chairs where a chipped corner has been replaced and blended – this can be seen in our photos. There are no wobbles or joint concerns. As you would expect from Ercol, they are expertly crafted. One of the chairs still has the remnants of the blue Ercol label on the back. Each chair is stamped underneath.
