I bought a Ercol dinning set a few years ago, and unfortunately and due to moving house a zillion times in one year the 2 chairs broke. I was gutted as Ercol chairs are now hard to come by and when you do find them they are super expensive especially as Magaret Howell has re-released a number of their key pieces.
Ercol, in case you didn’t know already, is one of the great British furniture manufacturers of the 20th century. Vintage Ercol Love Seats fetch very good prices in the Margaret Howell fashion flagship store on London’s Wigmore Street, but otherwise this is a furniture maker that has been largely forgotten by the design cognoscienti.
Last Saturday i was lucky enough to come across three of the exact chairs i was looking for!!
