The Story of This Piece
This Ercol Model 473 Double Bow Rocking Chair dates from the 1960s. Ercol’s 1965 brochure identifies Model 473 as the Double Bow Rocking Chair, the rocking version of the Model 472 Double Bow Fireside Chair, with specially designed rocker skids.
Made in English elm and solid beech, the chair was collected from Port Talbot, South Wales and brought to our North Derbyshire workshop, where it was refinished by Retro Cactus Furniture.
It was sold by Retro Cactus Furniture and personally delivered by us to Marple, Greater Manchester.
These photographs show the actual Model 473 chair handled and refinished by Retro Cactus Furniture, including its sculpted elm seat, double-bow back and rocker construction.
