Originals – Chairmakers Rocking Chair
Conceived by Italian-born designer Lucian R Ercolani, the Chairmakers Rocking Chair distills Ercol’s century-old British craft into a poised, enduring everyday heirloom. Founded in 1920 in High Wycombe, Ercol became renowned for refined Windsor forms shaped for modern living, a legacy that endures.
An exemplar of Windsor craftsmanship, the Chairmakers Rocking Chair features a sculpted spindle back with eight finely turned spindles that arc to cradle the body, offering supportive all day comfort. Crafted in solid ash, its tactile surfaces and steadfast frame bring a quiet sense of tradition and ceremony to dining spaces, while its architectural silhouette captivates discerning mid-century collectors.

The Maker /
Ercol
Ercol was founded in England in 1920 by a young Italian, Lucian Ercolani. His simple goal was to make furniture that was well designed and made in a good working environment by craftsmen who took real pride in their jobs.
Today, Ercol remains a family owned company committed to protecting and sharing its highly celebrated legacy. This is achieved through a time-honoured commitment to innovation in manufacturing and design.
The Designer /
Lucian Ercolani
The son of an Italian picture frame maker at the world-renowned Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Lucian Ercolani moved with his family from Tuscany to London in the 1890s. After earning his credentials as a furniture designer, Lucian went on to launch his own company in 1920, which later became known as Ercol.
