Set of Four Vintage Ercol 1950s Model 391 Dining Chairs

First produced in the fifties, these Ercol Model 391 dining chairs have stood the test of time. They have enduring appeal and they look as good today as they did back then. This is a particularly sought-after model, highly prized with its splayed back spindles that finish beautifully below the line of the seat… they look as good from the back as they do from the front. They have neat, compact proportions which make them ideal for modern dining areas or kitchens with limited space. This set of four chairs is in super, original condition. They are particularly early ones – the label design tells us they’re from the 1950s so their condition is remarkable given their years. A British design classic.

Description

This original, vintage set of four chairs is ‘sold as seen’. All four chairs are in good, used condition. We have given the chairs a thorough check, clean and polish with a natural beeswax but otherwise we have left their original finish alone. Across the chair set, there are superficial scuffs and marks here and there, as you might expect with furniture of this age and purpose. Overall though, we would class the wear and tear on the chairs as light and minor. They are superbly crafted, stable and sturdy with no repairs. Two of the chairs have their original blue Ercol labels on the back, dating them to the 1950s. Do browse our photos for a good sense of their order. If you would like to view the chairs or have any queries, please do get in touch.
