About the Item
Vintage Ercol Model 439 Writing Desk Elm Beech
Beautifully crafted and increasingly sought-after example of the Ercol Model 439 writing desk, designed and produced in England during the mid-20th century. Made from solid elm with turned beech legs, this compact desk embodies Ercol’s hallmark simplicity, quality, and elegance.
The warm, honey-toned elm grain of the Vintage Ercol Model 439 Writing Desk Elm Beech surface is complemented by a raised gallery top with twin miniature drawers and an open cubby—perfect for stationery or small accessories. Below, a spacious single drawer features exposed dovetail joints and the original sculpted oval handles.. As with all Ercol furniture from this era, craftsmanship is exceptional, with a focus on functional beauty and longevity.
A lesser-seen model in Ercol’s catalogue, the Mid century Ercol elm and beech desk model 439 is ideal for smaller spaces—whether used as a writing desk, hallway console, or occasional work-from-home station. All drawers open smoothly, and the piece stands sturdy and true on elegantly tapered legs.
