Eames | Herman MIller 1950s Armshell Rocking Chair
$2,200
Early 1950s Transitional Parchment Fiberglass Eames Shell Chair — Venice Office Production
Authentic early‑period Eames fiberglass shell featuring original shock mounts and the highly sought‑after super rare parchment finish. This is a true transitional‑era piece from the Venice Office, long before replicas existed — a genuine artifact of mid‑century design history.
The shell is in exceptional condition for its age: no stains, beautiful patina, and structurally excellent. The original label has fallen off over time, which is reflected in the price; with the label intact, this chair would easily command triple the asking amount. Compare to same artifact on 1'st Bids or ebay, and notice triple prices, with deteriorated stained or bleeding fiberglass.
Paired with a walnut/black metal rocker base from Modernica for a timeless, functional presentation.
Photos don’t fully capture the depth and character of the fiberglass — any dark areas are simply shadows from lighting.
Serious collectors will recognize the rarity and value of this piece. Reasonable offers considered. Low-ballers... don't waste our time.
Will also consider trade for MCM artifacts of similar value
