🔎 Provenance Story

We discovered this beautiful Ercol dining set tucked away in a Sussex barn, stored carefully by a retired joiner who had once worked for a well-known cabinetmaker in Brighton. The set had been in the family since new, originally purchased in the early 1960s from a local department store that stocked Ercol furniture during its golden era.

What caught our attention first was the table’s rich plank top, its grain glowing beneath a light veil of dust. One by one, we uncovered the matching six Ercol 1960s hoop-back chairs — each in excellent structural condition, with their elegant spindles and contoured elm seats intact. It was immediately clear this was no piecemeal collection — it was a full, cherished suite, used for Sunday roasts, birthday teas, and late-night card games.

Back in our studio, we gave the set a gentle clean and nourishing treatment to bring out the warmth of the elm and beech woods, careful to retain the patina and history that gives it soul. It’s a piece of post-war British design — honest, functional, and beautifully made — ready to return to a home that values timeless craftsmanship and understated mid-century charm.

The mid-century Ercol Dining Table (Plank Top) and Six Ercol hoop-back dining chairs are a stunning combination of craftsmanship, simplicity, and enduring design. Perfect for adding a touch of retro charm to any dining space, this iconic set blends form and function seamlessly.

Crafted from solid elm and beech woods, the rectangular Ercol dining table showcases the natural beauty of its rich grain pattern. The sturdy beech legs feature the distinctive Ercol splayed design, ensuring stability and visual appeal. Its generous dimensions comfortably accommodate six diners, making it ideal for family meals, entertaining guests, or creating a stylish workspace.

Six authentic Ercol hoop-back dining chairs complement the Ercol dining table, renowned for their curved spindle backs and ergonomic comfort. Each chair boasts a contoured elm seat and tapered beech legs, combining durability with a graceful silhouette. The gently arched backrests offer support, while the timeless Windsor-style construction adds character to traditional and modern interiors.

This vintage Ercol Dining Table set perfectly embodies mid-century modern aesthetics, characterized by clean lines, natural materials, and understated elegance. Designed by Lucian Ercolani, these pieces reflect the impeccable quality and attention to detail synonymous with the Ercol brand.
