The History Of Ercol Furniture

Ercol, with a legacy dating back to 1920, is renowned worldwide for its beautiful, iconic handcrafted furniture. Founded by Italian designer Lucian R. Ercolani, the brand's origin story revolves around a singular vision: to blend beauty and simplicity in furniture design. This innovative approach led to the development of unique techniques, including wood steam-bending, and gave rise to the iconic designs cherished today. This legacy of innovation endures, with Lucian's grandson and great-grandson now steering Ercol.

Ercol's state-of-the-art factory, nestled in the scenic Chiltern Hills, serves as a hub for furniture-making excellence. Ercol’s skilled craftsmen and women lovingly handcraft each piece of Ercol furniture, employing traditional techniques honed over decades. Ercol furniture is crafted from high-quality hardwoods like ash, elm, beech, and oak sourced from around the globe.

How can tell that a piece of furniture is made by Ercol?

When you know what to look for, identifying whether a piece of furniture is made by Ercol can be relatively straightforward. Ercol often includes its logo or label on their furniture. Look for a small Ercol logo, typically a capital "E" within a circle, on the furniture, usually on the underside, the back, or inside drawers. This label or logo is a clear indicator of authenticity. If you have access to any paperwork, manuals, or receipts for the piece, these documents may also confirm the manufacturer.

Ercol places a strong emphasis on using high-quality wood, such as ash, elm, beech, or oak – so inspect the wood's grain and finish carefully. Familiarise yourself with Ercol's signature design elements, such as steam-bent wooden frames, spindles, and ergonomic shapes. The presence of these design elements can be a strong indicator that the piece is authentically Ercol. Also, look out for expert joinery techniques, such as dovetail joints and wedged tenons.

Remember that Ercol has produced a wide variety of furniture over the years, so the specific characteristics may vary depending on the era and style of the piece. Careful examination and a combination of the above factors can help you confidently identify whether a piece of furniture is genuinely made by Ercol.
