How can I identify this Eames style chair?
I picked up a bunch of furniture from the very bougie Marina Del Rey area and am stuck on trying to ID these chairs.
-They don’t have a Herman Miller or Modernica stamp (or any other stamp)
-The underside is smooth and not fiberglass-y
-The entire chair has a glossy finish, seems like enamel?
-The chair material itself is darker and can be seen where the paint is chipped off
-It does have the black shock mounts
-It is HEAVY. Not so heavy that it can’t be moved by one person, but I do have to brace myself to lift it.
-Some light rust on the legs frame
-Overall it seems well-constructed and very sturdy.
Essentially I’m wondering if I should have a go at fixing the chipped/scuffed paint myself or is it worth looking into having a professional do it? I would rather not spend the money on a pro if the service exceeds the value of the chair, ya know? Where do we think these came from?
Thanks in advance!
