ERCOL DISPLAY CABINET - AN ANTIQUE OF THE FUTURE DESIGNED BY THE ITALIAN, LUCIAN ERCOLANI - MAY1888 TO JUNE 1976. HE CAME FROM TUSCANY AND OPENED HIS FACTORY IN HIGH WYCOMBE, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, ENGLAND. HIS DESIGNS ARE BASED ON ENGLISH STYLES AND THIS PIECE IS MADE USING ENGLISH TRADITIONAL HARDWOOD. ENCOURAGED BY HIS PARENTS HE ENROLLED IN THE SHOREDITCH TECHNICAL INSTITUTE WHERE HE STUDIED DRAWING, DESIGN AND THE THEORY OF DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF FURNITURE.
IN THE EARLY 1900s SHOREDITCH WAS A THRIVING CENTRE OF FURNITURE MAKING. CO -INCIDENTALLY, THE SELLER WAS A LECTURER AT THAT COLLEGE FOR 24 YEARS UP TO 1990 WHEN IT WAS ABSORBED INTO LONDON METROPOLITAN UNIVERSITY AS A DEPARTMENT. HOWEVER, THIS FAMILY HEIRLOOM HAS TO GO BECAUSE OF LACK OF SPACE IN MY RETIREMENT. LEAVE IT IN YOUR WILL TO YOUR GRANDCHILDREN WHO WOULD BE VERY FOOLISH TO TAKE IT TO THE DUMP. BREAKS DOWN INTO 3 PIECES FOR.

Location: East of England - Essex
