Ercol Elm Plank Utility Table Model C 41

Ercol Utility Plank Dining Table with Stretcher (c. 1950s–1960s)

 

The Ercol Utility Plank Table is a simple, sturdy, and beautifully made piece from Ercol’s early post-war range. Often referred to as the Utility Table or Plank Table, this design features a solid English elm top and turned beech legs, united by a practical H-form stretcher base.

Introduced during the 1950s and produced into the early 1960s, this table reflects Ercol’s focus on honest construction, natural materials, and timeless proportion. With its subtly curved ends and chamfered edges, it’s equally suited to rustic interiors or minimalist, modern settings.

Its compact footprint and durable build make it a favourite among Ercol collectors and those seeking authentic mid-century British craftsmanship.
