The Ercol Story
In 1920 Lucian Ercolani decided to set up his own furniture factory in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire and started what is today, Ercol.
During the war, the ercol factory worked for the government, making 25,000 tent pegs a day! After the war, due to all the rebuilding there was a substantial demand for new furniture, of which the Utility Furniture Scheme was set up with the aim to build strong well-designed furniture.
Ercol have been making furniture for over 100 years and Henry Tadros, the Great Grandson of ercol’s founder, Lucian R. Ercolani, is the fourth generation to take part in running the company.

A Timeless Design
Ercol's mid-century designs remain relevant and retain their appeal today. But their true beauty comes from the colours, grains and other natural features of the timber they use to make them.
Ercol furniture designs have origins in the 1950s. That mid-century style is very much of its time: sleek, functional, optimistic and forward-looking. Yet despite this clear and distinctive heritage, Ercol furniture is also frequently described as ‘timeless’. That’s because it transcends fashion and trends, and still feels relevant almost 80 years later.

Our History Together
Barker and Stonehouse and Ercol go back a long way. In fact Charles Barker realised in 1946 that this was the premier brand he wanted to stock. We're indebted to Ercol for taking a chance on a brand-new company in a little store in Stockton-on-Tees.
We've consistently sold Ercol furniture, and have remained family friends ever since.
Now, as the next generation takes the reins, George Barker and Henry Tadros reflect on the enduring relationships between these two iconic brands.

Clifford Riordan 
I am very pleased with the purchase of an ercol wardrobe and chest of drawers. Best price of all retailers. Ordered online Friday am and delivery confirmed by phone call pm, arranged for the following Tuesday. Brilliant. The delivery team were excellent. Jon C and Michael H from Middlesbrough were efficient, friendly and courteous. 10/10.

The small Ercol Teramo dining table, which sits 4 but extends to six, is perfect for me. I also purchased the matching chairs. Everything looks so good in my dining room and I'm glad I purchased the set.
Michael Jankowski
The Ercol Bosco Side Table is a very well designed and practical tidy-all for bedside use. Beautifully manufactured as a companion piece to the Ercol bed. We are delighted.

Our beautiful Ercol table and 6 chairs was safely delivered by Alex & Luke this morning. They took great care of our property and assembled the table at our request.

Zak & Stu delivered our Ercol furniture today – what fantastic guys. Delivery was prompt and the guys couldn’t have been more helpful placing the furniture upstairs where we needed it. Always nice to deal with those who make taking receipt of a delivery a good experience!
