Circa 1954 Eames Side Shell Chair

Label

Front


This beautiful grey-blue Eames Side Shell Chair was produced around 1954, and predates the rope-edge zenith production. Additionally, this incredibly rare chair is so early that it has no embossing and a chrome plated steel x-base. The "Shipped From Venice" label is among the hardest to find, and appeared on all chairs shipped from the Eames Office at 901 Washington Boulevard.
