Ercol Drop-Leaf Dining Table (Model 383) – c. 1950s–60s

 

The Ercol Model 383 is a beautifully functional drop-leaf dining table, ideal for smaller interiors and admired for its versatility and understated charm. Part of the Windsor collection, it reflects Lucian Ercolani’s vision of space-saving utility paired with organic form.

Crafted in solid English elm and beech, this table features two drop leaves that lift on a gateleg mechanism to seat 2–6 people comfortably. The sculpted plank top showcases natural elm grain, while the tapered beech legs provide a sturdy and elegant profile.

Perfect for kitchens, flats, or dining nooks, it’s one of Ercol’s most practical and collectable tables.
