Description
The appeal of Ercol endures and it’s no wonder. It’s so well-made and the design is classic. This dining suite, compromised of an oval table and four chairs, was acquired as a set from the same home and comes in its original finish in beautiful, honey-toned ‘blonde’ English elm with beech legs and chair backs. The table has drop leaves which are extended with a simple pull mechanism on the underside. With the leaves down, it’s compact and will tuck neatly against the wall with chair space at either end for two. When required, it can extend partially for three diners or fully to a generous oval that can comfortably accommodate four diners on the hoop-back, six spindle Windsor dining chairs. Made between 1957 – 1986, the model 370 chairs were an update on the smaller model 139 and feature more generous, oyster-shaped seats and a wider back with more spindles for a comfier sit. There are superficial scuffs and marks primarily to the chairs but given their considerable age, they are in remarkable order, solid and stable with many years of service to offer. You could opt to restore the set. The beauty of Ercol is that the wood is solid beech and elm and so takes to restoration well. Please see separate listings for this table and chairs for more detailed photos.

Condition report:
This original, vintage dining set is ‘sold as seen’ and it is comprised in a table and four chairs. Overall the table is in very good, used condition and the set of four chairs is in good, used condition. The table has been cleaned and wax polished but otherwise the finish is all original. It carries some light scuffs and marks here and there including on the legs, as you would expect with a vintage piece of this age. It is solid and sturdy with no wobbles or signs of repair. The drop leaves extend by lifting and pulling out the arms underneath. All mechanisms and hinges are in very good, working order. The blue Ercol sticker is still in place and the table dates from sixties. The set of four original, vintage chairs have been checked, thoroughly cleaned and a natural beeswax polish applied and buffed. As you can see from our photos, the chairs do carry light, superficial knocks, scuffs and scratches but overall we would categorise this as minor and what you would expect with preloved pieces of this age and purpose. They are superbly crafted, stable and sturdy with no repairs. Remnants of the blue Ercol labels can be seen on the back of all four chairs and each chair has poppers underneath should you wish to attach seat cushions. Do browse our photos for a good sense of condition and colour. Please see separate listings for further more detailed photos. If you have any questions or would like to come and view the set, just 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 are reliable and insured but their service does require a little flexibility as they work to set routes. They will confirm a date when they are next in your area and able to deliver. 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.
You are of course very welcome to collect or arrange your own collection / delivery - just let us know.

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.
