A beautifully restored example of British mid-century design, this Ercol Windsor Coffee Table (Model 459) was originally designed by Lucian Ercolani and crafted from traditional solid timbers. The table features a striking wild grain elm top that has been carefully stripped, sanded, and finished with oil and wax to highlight its natural beauty. The original dark stain has been removed to reveal the full depth and richness of the wood grain. Splayed beech legs and the slatted magazine rack beneath have been professionally repainted in Carbon by Rustoleum—a deep satin black that contrasts beautifully with the warm elm top and gives this vintage piece a fresh, modern edge.
Model 459 is a sought-after classic from Ercol’s Windsor range, and this fully refurbished version is ready to shine in any setting—from a contemporary flat to a country retreat. At 105 cm wide, it’s a versatile and lightweight coffee table, ideal for modern living. This piece embodies both sustainability and style: an original, timeless design given new life through careful restoration. With its blend of character, craftsmanship, and practicality, it’s a future antique that’s ready to be enjoyed for decades to come.
