An Ercol dining suite in a dark stained finish, comprising an oval extending dining table and a set of six Quaker spindle-back chairs. The table features a solid elm top with a central seam, supported by a beech trestle-style base with four bulbous turned legs and rectangular block feet, joined by a central H-stretcher. The chairs are of the characteristic Quaker design, featuring an ergonomic hoop back with six vertical spindles over a solid seat, supported by splayed beech legs and H-stretchers. Each chair is provided with a removable tie-on seat cushion featuring a multi-coloured floral and pheasant pattern. The underside of the table apron bears a blue foil label printed with the Ercol brand name and Made in England. The chairs retain paper care labels providing the manufacturer name and the Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire address.
