Original Vintage Ercol Windsor Model 468 Sideboard

This medium sized, English elm sideboard by Ercol, dating from the 1970s, is a British design classic from their ever-popular Windsor range.  An expertly crafted piece of furniture with many of Ercol's signature features on show, it epitomises the form and function aesthetic, where beautiful design meets practicality. The honeyed wood grain across the exterior surfaces is glorious. Featuring two generous cupboards (one with double doors, one smaller) and two spacious drawers, it’s still such a versatile piece and would be a welcome addition to pretty much any room, fitting easily in with pieces of other styles and wood types. This particular 468 model was produced from 1962-1985 and it's a classic with an appeal that endures generation after generation.

This is an original, vintage piece that is ‘sold as seen’. It is in very good, used condition. We have checked and cleaned the piece inside and out, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior surfaces but otherwise we’ve left the original finish alone as it’s in such fantastic order throughout. All three cupboard doors align and their closures work as they should. Inside the right hand cupboard there is a removable cutlery drawer with adjustable dividers. The main cupboard features a height adjustable shelf. The cupboard interiors have some very light marks from use but in general, are in good clean, tidy order. Both bottom drawers slide in and out with ease, and the internal woodwork here is in very good order too. The sideboard sits on its original castors which move freely and with ease. It’s a beautifully crafted piece as you would expect from Ercol with dovetail joints and the signature oval inset handles. Sadly the original Ercol label is no longer in place but the label from the shop where originally purchased in on the back and the registration number is in side the door. Do browse our photos for a good sense of its condition and colour. If you’ve questions or wish to view this sideboard then do get in touch.

We have a weekly collection of pieces, usually every Thursday, and onward delivery to our customers follows 1-4 days after this collection, depending on the location. We will confirm the delivery date with you.

The delivery service we can offer does requires some flexibility as the drivers work to pre-planned routes (so we cannot choose a date or book an exact time, for example) but you will be kept fully updated by them regarding their anticipated delivery window.

Delivery is priced per item as per the product listing to mainland UK.

If your address falls in the the postal areas below, it is deemed 'Highlands and Islands' by our carrier and we would ask that you enquire prior to purchase so we can confirm delivery costs and timescales:

Our delivery partners will ensure the piece is delivered safely and securely into your property. However, it is not their responsibility to move a piece into position once in your home. Our delivery partners are not insured for this, nor are we, so we recommend you have adequate help for onward manoeuvring, especially if it is a large heavy, item.

All our items are carefully wrapped and well-protected for their onward journey. We use as much recycled and recyclable packaging as possible.

We show dimensions for all our pieces so we would recommend you check that you can accommodate a piece before buying, especially if it is a large item, as we cannot take responsibility for items not fitting through doorways or into spaces. If you’d like us to take additional dimensions for you, we’d be very happy to help.

UK mainland delivery is included in the total price for some of our smaller pieces. This is stated in the product description. These items are sent either via DPD or by Royal Mail. We will advise you how your item is being sent and will provide relevant tracking information. We usually dispatch items within 2-4 working days.
