Originals – Quaker Chair
Ercol’s Originals Quaker Chair distills the Windsor tradition into a poised silhouette, echoing the purity that Lucian Ercolani championed in his early designs. Founded in 1920 in High Wycombe by the Italian-born designer, Ercol has become synonymous with honest, enduring craftsmanship that shaped postwar British homes. The Originals collection preserves and reinterprets these mid-century archetypes for modern living.
Meticulously crafted and honed to minimalistic perfection, the Quaker Chair presents a classic Windsor backrest of finely carved spindles, beautifully embraced by a tall steam-bent ash bow that unites the composition in a graceful arc. Its inviting form elevates everyday dining rituals, bringing quiet elegance and enduring comfort to the table while honoring Ercolani’s belief in relevant, well-made furniture.

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.
