Authenticity and Provenance
These genuine Herman Miller EA316 chairs are dated to the early to mid-1960s, confirmed by the official patent numbers 3041100 and 3024000 stamped on the frames.
For decades, this set of chairs have been preserved together in a single collector's holiday home. This one-owner set has been maintained with unwavering care, ensuring that each chair is in stunning, consistent, restored condition.
Restoration and Condition
Each chair in this set has undergone a comprehensive professional restoration, ensuring the entire group looks and feels as magnificent as it did when first produced.
Original Leather:
The chairs retain their original dark charcoal leather upholstery, which remains in very good, supple condition across all four seats. This rare level of preservation in the original material makes this set exceptionally unique and collectable.
Polished Aluminium:
The iconic five-star bases and sleek aluminium frames have been expertly polished and restored. We have intentionally left subtle traces of patina to honour the pieces’ history; the finish can, however, be polished further if preferred — the entire set gleams, reflecting the superb craftsmanship of the era.
Flawless Functionality:
The five-star base and swivel mechanisms on all four chairs operate flawlessly, providing smooth, effortless movement and stable support.
A Statement of Enduring Design
The EA316 Lounge Chair is renowned for its low profile, wide seat, and superior, effortless comfort. The high back and sophisticated profile make this chair the ultimate statement piece for the living room, library, or office.
A genuine, appreciating collector's item. This is an unparalleled opportunity to acquire a fully restored and perfectly preserved Eames chair with the original leather and authentic patent stamps – a true testament to enduring design.
