In addition, the original gold label and cushions remain, confirming its authenticity and timeless appeal.

The seat is made from beautifully figured elm, which displays a rich grain and soft sheen. Its steam-bent back and turned beech legs provide strength, balance, and the classic Ercol look. Each detail, from the spindles to the smooth arm supports, reflects careful craftsmanship. The chair is sturdy, comfortable, and free from damage or loose joints.

This design captures the essence of mid-century modern style. It combines clean lines, natural materials, and practical comfort. The chair also complements both vintage and contemporary interiors. Therefore, it works beautifully in a living room, reading corner, or bedroom, adding warmth and elegance wherever it sits.

Ercol has long been known for durable, hand-finished furniture. Owning this Model 470 means you acquire a genuine piece of British design history that remains stylish and functional decades later. In addition, its rocking motion adds comfort and relaxation, making it both a practical and decorative choice.
