1930s Ercol Three Piece Suite                                                

Appearing in the 1933 Ercol catalogue this set, based on details of a William & Mary period design, includes a sofa (Model 764) with 2 fireside chairs all having infilled sides and featuring embossed and latticed leather shown on the back rest of the fireside chair Model 793. This set may well have been made as a special order or was shown in a later catalogue that is no longer available as the sofa is labelled “ERCOL Reliability Mark – Please Quote Design No. 1634”.

We have never seen another set, or even a chair in this Ercol design and consider these to be extremely rare pieces for a collector.

Described by Ercol as being “covered in cowhide, enriched with embossings”, the front of the seats have an embossed leather frieze of vine leaves and grapes above latticed or woven leather back rests and infill below the wooden arms, with replacement foam filled cushioning.  The heavy frames are stained beech with the backs of all 3 pieces covered in LIOE Rexine – see photo showing signs of wear and some tears to the Rexine.

Overall, good vintage condition.
