Its distinctive and sturdy casters and beautifully crafted handles are its charming features. The top drawer is fitted with a cutlery case that spans the entire width of the drawer, making it ideal for organizing. It matches perfectly with other items in the Windsor series, such as the Windsor chair and butterfly table. The design of the vintage model and the current model are almost the same, but the current model does not have casters and is designed to be placed on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The blue label was used from 1954 to around 1976.

It is a rare brand that continues to receive high support for the same model, both as new furniture and as antiques. Ercol Furniture was founded in High Wycombe in 1920 by Italian-born furniture designer Lucien Arcolani, who immigrated to the UK in the early 20th century. One of the key points of Ercol's success was inventing a method of drying elm wood, which was considered unsuitable for furniture at the time because it was difficult to dry and would warp. The collection combines traditional manufacturing methods, such as the Windsor chair, with modern design, and is light and simple with a casual design. The stacking child chair, designed in 1957, was widely used in facilities such as elementary schools and quickly became a best-selling brand. In recent years, Margaret Howell (British fashion designer) exhibited vintage Ercol stacking child chairs in her London shop, and the Ercol chairs were very well received. This led to Ercol starting to manufacture reproductions of the product in 2002. This reproduction was later sold at Margaret Howell's shop and quickly became popular. Items with the yellow and gold color, commonly known as the Gold Label, from Ercol's heyday in the 1960s and 1970s have long been traded at a premium, but in recent years, including vintage Blue Label items from after that, the prices have soared to nearly double what they were in the past in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLucian Ercolani\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n Born in Italy in 1888, he became a British citizen in 1923 and founded Ercol. While manufacturing traditional British Windsor-style furniture, the founder of Ercol also broke with tradition and took on the challenge of creating new Windsor designs and timeless modern designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eElm wood ulmaceae\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \nThe species that is mainly used as wood is called Japanese elm, also known as elm wood. In addition to furniture, it is widely used for tableware, musical instruments, and more. Elms grow over a wide area in the Northern Hemisphere, growing in cold, fertile soil in Hokkaido, Japan, China, Sakhalin, Siberia, and other areas. It is highly valued for its decorative properties due to its interesting grain, and is sometimes used as a surface decorative material in place of zelkova. It is also characterized by its resistance to rot, and its somewhat heavy, hard, and tough nature, making it less likely to crack. Its yellow-white to light brown color and rough texture give it a moist, gentle, and soft impression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"camori","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44673708917048,"sku":"61061","price":109000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/7272\/2744\/products\/6c327e95-cf69-4ead-915e-5cfdf334e45f.jpg?v=1677212254","url":"https:\/\/amingcojp.xyz\/en\/products\/61061","provider":"camori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
