About the Item

Pair of elm and beech easy chairs model 493 produced by Ercol, England circa 1950s. Ercol is the name of a British furniture manufacturer. The firm dates back to 1920, when it was established in Buckinghamshire, as Furniture Industries by Lucian Ercolani (1888–1976). Ercol's furniture found a ready market in post-war Britain, which demanded smaller pieces with simpler lines than their chunky pre-war counterparts. Ercol furniture was exhibited at the 1951 Festival of Britain, as it represented the latest style and fashion in furniture design and manufacture. Good condition, traces of uses, one little rift on one seat, nothing important (pictures).
