A 1960s Ercol Model 455 sideboard in solid English elm, with two end cupboards, three central drawers and distinctive recessed oval handles sculpted into the solid wood.
The Story of This Piece
This Ercol Model 455 Sideboard dates from the 1960s and is made from solid English elm. The design features two end cupboards, three central drawers and distinctive recessed oval handles sculpted into the solid wood.
The Model 455 identification is confirmed by Ercol’s 1965 brochure, where the sideboard is described with two end cupboards, three central drawers, recessed oval handles and a sliding cutlery tray in the top drawer.
The original collection location is no longer recorded. This example was professionally refinished at the Retro Cactus Furniture workshop in North Derbyshire.
It was later sold by Retro Cactus Furniture and personally delivered to its new home in Sandiway, Cheshire. These photographs show the actual sideboard handled and refinished by Retro Cactus Furniture, including its solid elm construction, cupboard interiors and original Ercol design details.
