Charles and Ray Eames

The chair and matching ottoman throughout is in excellent condition. The rosewood frames with minor surface scratches and minor surface dirt, consistent with gentle use and only visible upon close inspection. The original leather upholstery remains soft and with only very minor crazing that does not break the surface of the leather and is consistent with gentle use. The metal on both the chair and ottoman with a few light surface scratches and a few scattered losses to the lacquer concentrated to the lower portions as a result of gentle use. All of the original gliders at the base of the feet for the chair and ottoman are present. A great opportunity to acquire a mid-century design icon in excellent condition. ---
