Eames Chairs, by Harveyn on Jan 11, 2008 12:48:46 GMT 1, You are quite right Frankie. Its the one with the padded arms. I think I prefer the sleeker look of the Alu Group Chair.
Can the Alu be bought as an original with casters?

Yes, basically the glides (plastic feet) just pull out and you can have castors, you can buy with or without castors, both vintage and new, you can buy with tilt and height ajust or both and lounge base or desk. Plus lots of finishes. Leather, soft pad, ribbed, cloth, etc etc.

Mr Mancha is very much recommended. The number one authority on Eames chairs. I bought a replica Eames 117- aliminium/leather office chair from a company in the States. They took my cash for it but paypal retuned it saying that they were not a legit company. I complained bitterly trying to pay them but they were delisted as an e-bay seller and paypal refused to pay them on my behalf. There was no other point of contact. Something obviously went wrong as I got the chair and they didn't get the cash! Apart from getting a great chair for free the only problem was that some of the casters on the chair were damaged in transit ( or maybe before transit given the feedback from other buyers, hence e-bay delisting them for selling damaged goods). Mr Mancha knew exactly what I wanted and delivered the goods at a very reasonable price in days. He certainly knows his stuff.

Yes he does, he knows more about charles and ray eames amongst many other designers than anyone I've ever met. He really is a master. Has a great collection of books too.

Eames Chairs, by probored on Jun 12, 2016 11:28:37 GMT 1, I have a very special Eames chair that I am looking to let go. It is a Salmon coloured rope-edge PAW. PAW stands for Pivot Armchair Wood. The shell was made by Zenith Plastics and the label is still partly visible. The base is an original by Seng, Chicago. Both the shell and the base are from around 1950. Both Zenith Plastics and Seng only produced these shells and bases for a couple of years. So this is a very rare set-up. The base swivels well and is very sturdy. The legs look really good with no cracks. I believe the Swivel mechanism has had some professional restoration work done in its life previous to when it got to me. The swivel/ball bearing parts were prone to breaking hence it is not easy to find many of these chairs alive and working today and I understand that it was one of the reasons they were discontinued very quickly back in the 50s. Anyway, this is a real collectors item. The shell is shiny has no cracks or real blemishes, there is some slight fading of the colour here and there (see the armrest in the photos), but nothing inconsistent with a chair that is 65 years old. The base is sturdy and holds up strongly, no rust, no cracks in the wood, no chips and all four glides are still affixed.
Looking for 2.2K EURO + shipping + paypal fees.
Would prefer to sell to someone who can pick up in the Netherlands, although I'm sure I would be able to ship it within the EU just have to find a suitable box... Have a look at the photos and PM if interested. Happy to send more detailed photos.

I currently have a rope edge eifel base upstairs in the living room, its been in the family since it was bought new in 1951. Goes well with a new baby blue rocker we have in the kitchen. Lovely chairs !

Eames Chairs, by Happy Shopper on Jul 6, 2016 11:50:16 GMT 1, I've bought a few over the years on eBay. Although they seem to be more expensive now than a few years ago. Bases are rarely original, even from shops selling originals at high prices. Just look for the fibre glass shells with the Herman Miller stamp.

I have couple of Eames at home but only one bikini wire chair with original base. Somewhere late 50's, I believe so.
