Posted as "Client purchased as Herman Miller Eames chair, no tags exist." It is at auction so it could be the auction house covering themselves. Please let me know what you think. Also no ottoman but it seems real to me.

What do you all think? $3500 due to the damage noted below.

Authentic vintage Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair & Ottoman (670/671), 3rd generation (1971–1991), in Brazilian rosewood veneer with original chocolate brown leather cushions.

Brazilian rosewood veneer (pre-ban era)

Original chocolate brown leather cushions

Wood shells: Original matched set. Present well with attractive grain and typical minor wear.

Structural notes (please read):

Prior repair to shock mounts. Backrest sits slightly uneven and is overly reclined. This has resulted in a partial stress fracture on one wing of the lower back shell (see last 2 photos). This is not a full break. Professional restoration highly recommended to stabilize the panel, and improve the alignment on the shock mounts Note: shock mounts on these chairs are a maintenace issue. They need to be replaced periodically on all chairs because the rubber degrades over time. Material cost for new shock mounts is about $100 if you want to DIY it.
