A well-designed dining set creates a welcoming focal point within the home, offering a comfortable space for everyday meals as well as larger gatherings. This restored Ercol table and six chairs combines practical proportions with the warmth and character of natural timber, making it ideal for both family dining and entertaining. The table features a generously sized rectangular top with softly rounded edges and a beautifully flowing elm grain that runs the full length of the surface. It stands on distinctive trestle-style supports with shaped vertical panels and a central stretcher, giving the piece strength and a balanced, traditional feel. The contrasting tones between the lighter elm top and the darker base add depth and visual interest. The six matching chairs include two carvers and four standard chairs, each with classic Ercol detailing. The chair backs showcase carved arch motifs and turned spindle supports, while the seats have been newly upholstered in a neutral grey fabric that complements the warm timber tones and suits a variety of interior styles. The previous finish has been carefully stripped from both the table and chairs, and multiple coats of hard-wearing matte lacquer have been applied, providing a durable, long-lasting finish while accentuating the natural grain of the elm. The seats have been professionally reupholstered in a neutral grey fabric, offering a clean and refreshed appearance. The set is constructed from solid elm and beech, with elm forming the tabletop and beech used for the frames and structural components, in keeping with traditional Ercol craftsmanship. There are minor age-related marks visible in places, consistent with its history and use, but these do not detract from the overall presentation or functionality of the set. With its solid construction, comfortable seating, and freshly restored finish, this Ercol table and six chairs offer both everyday practicality and enduring design, making it a reliable and attractive addition to a dining room or open-plan living space.[dimensions][w]83[/w][h]73[/h][l]184[/l][/dimensions]
