About
Lucian R Ercolani, or the ‘Old Man’ as he is affectionately know in the company, founded ercol in 1920. Born in Italy in 1888, Lucian’s family moved to London in the 1890s. There he went to night school at the Shoreditch Technical Institute where he studied drawing, design and the theory and construction of furniture. In 1907 he made his first piece of furniture – a musical cabinet, inlaid with mother of pearl. Years later the company tracked this down and we still have it to this day.
