It’s always a treat when I get these vintage Ercol pieces in my workshop. This is a model 248 (1954-57). Looking good at 70 years old but that’s what you get when you buy a quality hand-crafted piece of furniture like this.
At some stage in its life there have been some spurious alterations to the seat so it was good to be able to put it back how it should be with the proper Pirelli webbing.
Sitting under several layers of upholstery was the original fabric - very much resembling that in the Ercol catalogue (see last pic - I do love a bit of nostalgia!)
