A Vintage set of four iconic Ercol Model 400 Windsor dining chairs, produced in the early 1960s. They bear the stamps of authenticity on the underside ( but no paper labels ), confirming their heritage. Beautifully designed and expertly crafted, these chairs were built for everyday use while maintaining an elegant aesthetic.
With their sleek lines and neat proportions, they fit effortlessly into contemporary, Scandi, or traditional interiors. Made from solid elm and beech, their hardwood construction sets them apart from today’s mass-produced dining chairs. The seats and frames have developed a rich, warm patina, enhancing their natural beauty.
Originally designed with five spindles, the Model 400 was modified in 1958 to four spindles, distinguishing it from the similar 307 dining chair, which has six. The Model 400 is no longer in production, making these chairs increasingly collectible.
At over sixty years old, they do show some cosmetic signs of use, (and at some point been varnished) adding to their authentic vintage character. Please review the photographs carefully for condition details. These chairs are a true design classic—beautiful today and only improving with age.
The price is for a set of four chairs.
At the time of listing, we may also have additional pairs or single chairs available, as well as complementing Ercol tables. In our photos you can see the chairs around an Ercol breakfast table, this is listed separately. If you’re looking for a full dining set, feel free to message us for pricing and availability. We’re always happy to offer discounts on multiple purchases!
