Description: For your consideration is one (1) extremely rare, all original vintage EAMES Herman Miller greige fiberglass side shell chair upholstered in the distinct and iconic Alexander Girard designed checkerboard fabric mounted on original black vintage Eiffel tower base with all glides intact. Herman Miller logo embossed on the bottom of the shell, along with the original Herman Miller paper label (underneath that label is the HM logo) with the date stamp of June 28, 1973. Overall great vintage condition with no cracks or integral damage. Exhibits age-appropriate wear, notably surface soiling on the fabric, as depicted. The cushion is firm with age, which is typical of fabric upholstered Eames chairs. Already reflected in the price. This highly-coveted Alexander Girard checkerboard pattern boasts a very sleek, sporty look, reminiscent of a racetrack flag. It's one of Girard's most well regarded designs and one of the most requested for custom orders during his tenure as the director of design at Herman Miller's textile division, where his fabrics were used for the Eames and Nelson chairs and sofas manufactured by Herman Miller. This is an amazing chair for serious Eames and Girard collectors and would be an asset and a valuable addition to any mid century modern collection. Final sale, no refunds, cancellations, or exchanges, so please examine all photos prior to purchase. Already selling at less than cost, so the price is firm. No best offers. This is an insanely great price for this all-original, highly coveted chair which seldom comes to market, so don't miss out.
