Description
Ercol's large, 'Grandfather' rocking chair is a design classic, dating from the 1960s. Characterised by its large, fanned back, low seat & wide arms, it's generous, over-sized proportions will provide gentle rocking relaxation. As you would expect, it's superbly well-made, with traditional craftsmanship & with many of Ercol's signature features from the exaggerated beech bentwood back, to the striking spindles to the upturned, curved arms to the comfort & functionality. Originally it would have had a thick four inch Ercol seat cushion & a shaped back cushion. We would recommend piling up with loose cushions & sheepskins, or you can opt official Ercol pads. These are readily available. A must for every Ercol fan wanting to expand their collection & as is the way with timeless design, it would look at home in a mixed-style interior, from midcentury influenced to traditional country cottage. You can see more photos of this chair at originalhomewares.com in the SEATING section. This is an original, vintage rocking chair that is 'sold as seen'. It is in very good, used condition but there is a repair to note. The chair has been thoroughly cleaned & a natural beeswax polish applied. There are minor surface marks to the wood as you would expect with a vintage chair of this nature but these add to its rich patina & character in our view. We've shown some fading to both arm ends but as you can appreciate from our photos, overall the wear & tear is very minimal. It's superbly constructed in solid elm & beech. There is a professional repair to one of the runners. The wood had split on the bend but has been it's been seamlessly & expertly joined, with additional dowel rods for added strength. We have rigorously tested the chair out & it's stable & solid, & we don't believe this repair is an area of concern or likely to reoccur. Please refer to our photos which show the repair in detail. This is also reflected in our price. The blue Ercol sticker is still affixed to the back of the chair. Questions? Please do ask - we're very friendly!
