Description
This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in good, used condition. It has been cleaned inside and out, and a natural beeswax polish applied but the original finish has otherwise been left alone, and so there are marks and blemishes here and there. We always carefully consider how much or how little to restore a piece as we’re believers that vintage pieces should show signs of their former lives – in our view this is part of their considerable appeal. After deliberation, we felt that a full restoration of this piece would be too invasive and would strip away its character. However, this is just our view. The great thing about Ercol furniture is that it’s solid wood so if you wished to restore this piece, either fully or partially, you have that option. All cupboard doors swing with ease with hinges and closures in good order. Likewise, the lower drawer slides with ease. All the interior wood is clean and tidy, with just a few rings and marks. The cupboards feature height adjustable shelves with the original shelf pegs in place. The right-hand cupboard features a removable butler’s drawer which has removable dividers for cutlery. The external wood is also in good order. The top surface carries the main wear and tear and as you can see in our photos there are some faint ring marks and scuffs to the finish here, particularly along the front edge. Sadly the Ercol dark blue sticker is no longer in place in the back.
