A pair of mid-century Beech and Elm rocking chairs. These chairs were manufactured in South Africa by Lubis and were a copy of the British Ercol make. They are very collectable and beautiful in their own right.

The rockers were very darkly stained and after many hours and much elbow grease we have brought them as close to the original wood colour as possible. The chairs are not an exact match, please see detailed pics for differences. We have left on the original orange cushions they came with, but you could easily change these to suit your requirements.

We found this mid-century Beech and Elm chair with the two rocking chairs above and also brought it as close to its original colour as we could get it.
