For sale very rare Ercol ‘Quaker’ rocking chair (model 428) designed by Lucian Ercolani and manufactured by Ercol in High Wycombe. This particular example was manufactured in 1983 (please refer to photos).
Ercol furniture is synonymous with good design, quality materials and craftsmanship and is built for longevity. It is now back in fashion (keenly collected and highly regarded). This is a real eye catching piece of vintage, retro furniture.
This piece is of the usual high quality one expects from this manufacturer. The rocking chair has a solid English elm seat with beech backs, spindles, armrests and rocker skids. The seats are showing some lovely complex elm grain. Each subtly fashioned back consists of 5 turned spindles within a tall arched frame. The well constructed solid elm seat is inset beneath with angled tapering legs, and matching H pattern stretchers help to bolster the chairs structural rigidity. The chair is in Ercol ‘Old Colonial’ finish and satin protective lacquer and it comes with original cushion.
Size of the chair (approximately):
Height: 33” (85cm)
Width: 24” (62cm)
Depth: 27.5” (70cm)
Seat Height (without cushion): 15” (38cm)
This rocking chair is in very good (original) vintage condition with some marks commensurate with age and use (there is a small split at the back of a seat - please refer to photos). It is free of any damage or repairs. The chair is sturdy with no loose joints or spindles. It has been cleaned and waxed. This piece still retains original label which states it was originally manufactured in 1983.
Please see pictures for a better idea of the condition. I have tried to show colours as accurately as possible but please remember colours do appear differently on some monitors.
