About the Item

A real Mid-Century Icon that can still hold a place in a collectors home, by the CSS Wall Unit or the ESU Desk. This is a rare 1st generation PSC chair in poor distressed condition. Usable but cosmetically very poor. The Girard fabric is dingy stained with some small holes appearing around the edges, which are pictured. The base is scratched, and gouged but has been re-polished and re-painted. Still a wonderfully rare swivel upholstered desk chair on a 1st Generation Eames PSC base. The first generation of the PSC base as shown is a 4 legged star-base very similar to that later used on the lounge chair ottoman. In 1957 this style PSC was replaced with the more common 4 star contract base.
