About the Item

Vintage Ercol Model 439 Writing Desk Elm Beech Beautifully crafted and increasingly sought-after example of the Ercol Model 439 writing desk, designed and produced in England during the mid-20th century. Made from solid elm with turned beech legs, this compact desk embodies Ercol’s hallmark simplicity, quality, and elegance. The warm, honey-toned elm grain of the Vintage Ercol Model 439 Writing Desk Elm Beech surface is complemented by a raised gallery top with twin miniature drawers and an open cubby—perfect for stationery or small accessories. Below, a spacious single drawer features exposed dovetail joints and the original sculpted oval handles.. As with all Ercol furniture from this era, craftsmanship is exceptional, with a focus on functional beauty and longevity. A lesser-seen model in Ercol’s catalogue, the Mid century Ercol elm and beech desk model 439 is ideal for smaller spaces—whether used as a writing desk, hallway console, or occasional work-from-home station. All drawers open smoothly, and the piece stands sturdy and true on elegantly tapered legs. Mid century Ercol elm and beech desk - Condition: Very good vintage condition with only light surface marks and scratches commensurate with age. Structurally sound and ready to use. The front large drawer knob and the tiny drawer knob have had a break, but have been professionally repaired. Completey refurbished, taken back to original colour and given a couple of fresh  Coats of OSMO clear satin wax oil, ready to be used and loved again. 📐 Mid century Ercol elm and beech desk - Dimensions: Width: 68.5 cm Depth: 44 cm Height to writing surface: 73 cm Total height: 92 cm 🔍 Provenance: Sourced from a private collection in rural Derbyshire, where it was originally purchased in the 1960s for a family study. The desk remained in occasional use and was well-preserved over the decades, a testament to the enduring quality and charm of Ercol’s mid-century designs.
