Vintage 1960s Ercol Model 383 Drop Leaf Plank Dining Table
An iconic piece of British mid-century design from Lucian Ercolani in near-flawless condition. Made between 1957 – 1972, this Ercol model 383 plank dining table has two drop leaves so can be set at three different sizes. It’s made in Ercol’s preferred blonde wood with a solid English elm top and beech splayed legs. These Ercol tables are characterised by their table tops with softly tapered edges that gently slope off. And of course the patina of the elm is simply stunning, brought back to life through careful restoration. A timeless design that never goes out of fashion, an Ercol piece of furniture is for life.
Description
This is an original, vintage table that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. The table has been carefully restored without removing all the character and age. As you can see from our photos the grain on the table top is particularly fine, following it being stripped, sanded, oiled and wax polished to give it a durable satin finish. The legs have also been cleaned, sanded and wax polished too. It carries some light marks here and there as you might expect with a vintage piece. It is solid and sturdy with no wobbles or signs of repair. The drop leaves extend by lifting and pulling out the arms underneath. All mechanisms and hinges are in very good, working order. The blue Ercol sticker is still in place.
