This chair is shown in an advertisement in 'The Cabinet Maker' 26 May 1956 and is identified as model 4a.
The chair has an amazing history and yet are still ready for use today.
These early design are more utilitarian than the later Ercol Windsor models which have a softer, more refined design – it’s fascinating to see where the classic Windsor design started and how it evolved.
