Mid-Century Ercol Model 265 Extension Table SOLD

Mid-Century Ercol Model 265 Extension Table – Iconic British Design

 🔎 Provenance Story

This beautifully compact Ercol Model 265 Extension Table comes from a mid-century home in East Sussex, where it had been part of a carefully chosen living room suite since the early 1960s. Purchased directly from a regional Ercol stockist shortly after the couple moved into their first modern bungalow, the table was used for everything from tea service to children’s drawing sessions and the occasional celebratory toast.

The original Ercol blue label is still present — a quiet but proud marker of authenticity — and the elm top has aged beautifully, showcasing the warm, flowing grain that only decades of natural use can produce. The beech legs remain sturdy, lightly worn where feet and movement have shaped their story.

We’ve given the piece a gentle wax and clean, preserving the character while enhancing its charm. This isn’t just a side table — it’s a legacy of thoughtful British design, made for real life and ready to serve in a new space with the same quiet grace.

The Mid-Century Ercol Model 265 Extension Table is a standout example of vintage British furniture craftsmanship, showcasing the timeless style and functionality that Ercol is celebrated for. This table features a solid elm plank top and beech tripod legs, finished in a Natural Waxed Finish to enhance its warm tones and beautiful wood grain. It’s a must-have for mid-century modern furniture collectors and design enthusiasts.
