Vintage Ercol Grandfather Model 315 Rocking Chair – Blonde
beautifully elegant vintage Ercol Grandfather rocking chair, model 315, featuring the wonderfully distinctive design and craftsmanship for which Ercol furniture is so well loved. Finished in a gorgeous warm blonde tone and complemented by newly upholstered cushions in a lovely natural-coloured fabric, this charming chair combines timeless mid-century style with exceptional comfort.
The chair features a beautifully curved, high spindle back, gently sweeping arms and a generously proportioned seat, all supported by elegantly shaped rocking runners. The sculptural lines of the solid timber frame are particularly attractive, with traditional Ercol wedge joints and beautifully rounded details adding to its unmistakable character. The original Ercol manufacturer's label is still present.
The newly upholstered seat and back cushions have been finished in a lovely neutral, linen-look fabric, providing a soft contrast against the golden timber. The cushions are neatly secured to the frame with fabric straps, allowing the beautiful spindle construction to remain visible from behind.
– Excellent Restored Condition –
Carefully restored in our workshop and presented in excellent restored condition, with the wooden frame sympathetically refinished to bring out the beautiful warm colour and natural grain of the timber. The seat and back cushions have been newly reupholstered, giving the chair a wonderfully fresh appearance while retaining all the charm of its original design.
A few minor polished-in marks, small scuffs and gentle signs of age remain to the frame, consistent with its vintage character. Please take a close look through all photographs, as these form an important part of the description and show the condition and details more closely.
A wonderfully comfortable and inviting chair, perfect for a cosy reading corner, living room, bedroom or nursery. Its elegant proportions, gentle rocking movement and beautifully understated design make it a timeless piece that would sit equally well in both traditional and contemporary interiors.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
