SOLD Eames Herman Miller 1950 LCW Early Red Aniline, All Original Lounge Chair
Listed for sale is an original early 1950/1951 Eames LCW, designed by Charles and Ray Eames. This particular example is a very rare red aniline dye chair and one that was delightfully taken care of. The dye is gently faded to a red/orange. Due to the 5/2/5 setup but with seemingly missing screw, I imagine this was most likely during the transitionary period between Evans production and solely Herman Miller production. Therefore this was likely produced in 1950-1951.
