ERCOL OBJECTS OF DESIRE no 3... ELM EXTENDING TABLE
















The official name for this OoD (object of desire) is the tongue-tripping '510 Slide Leg Extending Table'..imagine saying that for the 50th time on a hot Saturday afternoon in the 60s!

It still makes the OoD list because it's GORGEOUS!

Quirky Ercol fact to share...the 510 tables produced in the 1960s are slightly narrower than the later 1970s models - only by a tiddly 2cm but makes a really big difference in terms of aesthetics...after nearly 10 years of buying, selling, restoring and re-upholstering vintage Ercol pieces, i'm full of quirky facts - would you like to hear more..?
