Etsy - OriginalHomewares Set Of Four Rare Vintage Ercol ‘Windsor’ Model F182 Dining Chairs
Description
A rare set of four very early Ercol Windsor chairs, featuring the original quality stamp, they have an amazing history & yet are still ready for use today. This early design is more utilitarian than the later Ercol Windsor models which have a softer, more refined design – it’s fascinating to see where the classic Windsor design started & how it evolved. Mix & match with other Ercol dining chair models for a contemporary dining area. We believe the darker finish on these chairs to be original. Although they have been thoroughly cleaned & checked, we have left their finish well-alone, although you could opt to sand it back & refinish them to suit. These are original pieces that are ‘sold as seen’ & are in very good vintage condition. These chairs are Ercol model number F182 & they carry the CC41 utility mark at the back of the seat. It stands for ‘Commodity Controlled’ & the CC41 scheme was launched in 1941 during the second world war by the British Board of Trade & applied to goods, including furniture, as proof that the item met the government’s austerity regulations. The scheme ran for 10 years & so dates the chairs between 1941-1951. Although there are scuffs & knocks to the original finish, all of the chairs are in great condition. They are stable & solid with no repairs. Any marks are minor & superficial, as you would expect, given it’s considerable age. in our view the rustic condition only adds to the appeal as does its history revealed by the stamps. Dimensions H: 86cm / W: 40cm / D: 49cm Seat Height: 45cm Delivery If you’re unable to collect yourself, we can arrange delivery with some excellent delivery drivers who cover most of the UK mainland that we have used many times before.
