The Story of This Piece
This Ercol Model 946 Dorchester Extending Dining Table dates from the 1990s and is made from English elm and solid beech. The design features a substantial twin-pedestal base and three separate extension leaves which store neatly within the table when not in use.
The Model 946 identification is confirmed by Ercol’s 1993 catalogue, where it is listed as the Dorchester Extending Table with three extension leaves.
This example was collected from Milford on Sea, Hampshire, before being professionally refinished at the Retro Cactus Furniture workshop in North Derbyshire.
It was later sold by Retro Cactus Furniture and personally delivered and set up at its new home in Saffron Walden, Essex. These photographs show the actual table handled and refinished by Retro Cactus Furniture, including the internal extension-leaf storage and original Ercol maker’s detail.
