Description: Listed for sale is an original 1960s womb chair, designed by renowned architect and furniture designer Eero Saarinen. This is one of Saarinen's most iconic works, which was introduced in 1948. This particular example dates to circa mid 1960s and notably retains both the original black finish to the base and also the original white vinyl upholstery. The chair is in remarkably nice condition for an example of this vintage. The vinyl presents well with some light wear as shown. The base finish is still quite nice, though it appears to be missing the back leveling feet. We can supply slip-on glides if desired. The chair measures 35.5 inches tall by 40 inches wide and 34 inches deep. It is not the smaller "medium" sized example, as that wasn't introduced until much later. The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
