Description

This is a classic piece of Ercol furniture from its vintage portfolio and its popularity endures. Originally designed in the 1960s and made through to the early nineties, this serving cabinet (its official Ercol title, designed to be wheeled to the dining table) is in great original condition, superbly crafted in solid wood. It features a ‘fall’ pull-down door which reveals a sectioned, upper cabinet and the door creates a desk for working at or mixing drinks. Below is a spacious two-door cupboard with an adjustable shelf, and generous, lower single drawer underneath. This multi-functional, versatile piece of domestic furniture provides a lot of storage space and its clever design means it’s not overtly a drinks cabinet or bureau – it could be used in any room from kitchen to bedroom or study. This particular piece dates from the 1970s, with the blue label remnants just about visible, and the super dark finish is all original, called ‘Old Colonial’.

Original Homewares offers a thoughtfully selected collection of vintage & midcentury furniture, lights & homeware, chosen for today’s homes. Our goal is to present well-crafted, well-designed, practical pieces with narrative & character that still have a place & purpose. Sourcing from across the UK & Europe, from all periods, ranging from late 19th Century antiques to classic midcentury design to considered items from the past 25-30 years.

Condition report:

This original, used piece is ‘sold as seen’. It’s in good – very good, vintage condition. We have cleaned the cabinet inside and out, applying a natural beeswax polish to the exterior surfaces but otherwise left the original, ‘Old Colonial’ factory finish alone as it’s in such great order. It features Ercol’s signature dovetail joints, just visible on its corners, and the doors and fall are fitted with full length hinges. The top cupboard interior is sectioned with two adjustable shelves and is in clean, tidy order inside. The lower two-door cupboard has a single adjustable shelf. The hinges and closures are in good working order. There is a full width drawer at the bottom which slides with ease and it sits on the original shepherd castors to give good mobility, the original idea being it could be rolled to the dining table. All interior spaces are in good, clean order, with just minor signs of use. Likewise, the exterior wood is in good – very good order too, with only light marks here and there in line with its age and purpose. The top surface has probably endured the most wear and tear with some light scuffs and fading but we feel this is in line with its age and would describe this has minor. The top cupboard handle has been repaired at some point but it’s been cleanly done with the pieces slotting back together. It is visible on close inspection (see our photo) but not so much in the overall context of the piece. You can buy replacement Ercol handles if you so choose. If you have any questions or would like to take a look at this piece, do get in touch.

We have a weekly collection of sold pieces, usually every Thursday, and onward delivery to our customers follows 1-5 days after this, depending on the delivery address.

They will then update you directly via text with delivery updates and timings.

Please enquire for Scotland & remote addresses - we can quote separately for this.

Smaller items, such as lamps, are sent via DPD to UK mainland locations and the price is quoted in the description for this service. Tracking information is provided and this is a Mon-Fri delivery service.

Seller Reviews

Cancellations and Returns

Last updated: 17th October 2024

Our Terms of sale were designed to treat both Customers and Vendors (including Professional Vendors and Non-Professional Vendors (as defined in the Site Terms)) fairly, in order to make the shopping/selling experience with Vinterior just as exceptional as the items.

To protect our Customers from disappointment or the unexpected, we strongly encourage them to closely inspect item photos, descriptions, and details before purchasing anything on the Site, and then again upon delivery or pickup.

If the Customer is unsure about an item's condition, dimensions, quantity, or description, they can send their questions to the item's Vendor by clicking on Ask the seller on the listing page of the Site.

Customers shall receive the same level of consumer protection on purchases irrespective of whether they are buying from a Professional Vendor or Non-Professional Vendor.

Should you have any questions regarding your transaction, please contact the Vendor in the first instance.

Can I cancel an order?

If a Customer changes their mind or decides for any other reason not to purchase the Goods before they have been dispatched, they can cancel the order on the Site and receive a refund.

The right to cancel does not apply to the following types of goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to the customer's specific requirements. If in doubt, the Customer can contact the Vendor via the Site.

If the Customer cancels an order after an item has already been marked as dispatched for delivery, the delivery costs are non-refundable.

To cancel the order, the Customer must follow the cancellation procedure on the Site by clicking on Create Cancellation on the order page.

Can I return an item?

At Vinterior, we understand that sometimes a piece may not be the perfect fit once it's in your home. That's why we offer a 14-day return policy, allowing you to return any item within 14 days from the date of delivery for any reason.

In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund or to have the issue fixed when possible.

Please note that certain items are non-refundable, including those that are personalised, bespoke, or made-to-order according to your specific requirements.

Types of returns and responsibilities

Change of mind return

Consumers can return the goods due to a change of mind. Once a return is requested, the buyer is in charge of shipping the goods back to the seller and should organise it as soon as possible. Shipment costs to and from buyers are non-refundable.

Item not fit for purpose

Acting under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, customers may return faulty Goods that are damaged or the listing on the Site is materially inaccurate, misleading, or misrepresents the Goods. In these cases, the Customer must provide photographic evidence to Vinterior and the Vendor or reject the delivery on arrival.

Damage in transit

Vinterior must be informed of any damage in transit. If Proovia delivered the items, Vinterior will then raise an insurance claim on behalf of the Vendor with the delivery company. If the seller organised a delivery, they would be asked to raise a claim with their courier. Once the claim is resolved and any relevant decision regarding the insurance has been made, any applicable refunds will be processed.

How to request a return

To initiate a return the customer needs to log in to their Vinterior account and click Create a return on the order page. In the return request, the reason for the return must be included along with photos of any damage of the Goods, if faulty.

How you will be refunded?

Once the item is returned to the Vendor in the same condition, the Vendor will confirm receipt of the item, and Vinterior will refund the original payment method.

If an item is returned to the seller damaged or in an unsuitable condition, Vinterior will not be able to process the refund, and the seller may have to send it back (and ask you to cover the delivery costs). All items are inspected on return.

What can't be returned?

As with cancellations, the right to return an item does not apply to the following types of Goods, which are non-refundable: items that are personalised, bespoke or made-to-order to the Customer's specific requirements.

Please note that vintage items are not sold as new and are likely to show signs of wear and tear. This is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Vendors may refuse a return of an item if the Customer has altered it in any way.

Neither Vinterior nor the Vendors are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
