John Neuhart, Marilyn Neuhart and Ray Eames, Eames Design:  The Work of the Office of Charles and Ray Eames, New York, 1989, pp. 126 and 128-129 (for related models)

Overall very good condition. With some light surface scratches, nicks and dings to the wood surface throughout consistent with age and use. The top with some light scattered surface discolorations and scattered minute white paint specks to the proper left rear corner. The bottom drawer on the proper left side with a likely replaced pull. All other hardware is likely original to the piece. With one minor edge loss to the white Masonite panel to the reverse side, measuring 1 inch that is adjacent to the fastening screw along the center line of the metal frame. The multicolored wood panels that construct the side panels of the piece present with minor bowing consistent with age and use. The color panels comproise black, yellow, blue and red (the latter of which are not shown in the catalogue illustration.) The metal surfaces with light rubbing, surface scratches and a few losses to the plating throughout consistent with age and use, the largest of which measuring approximately 2 inches located on the central metal frame between the two drawers on the lower portion of the piece. A very nice example of this series displaying a rare full drawer configuration.
