Possible Vintage Eames Herman Miller Soft Pad Group Chair?  

Hi,

I recently bought this chair at a house clearance auction and I'm at a bit of a loss identifying it. I've done some looking online as to what identifies a real/fake but it's not been much use.

The points that lead me to believe it is genuine are as follows -

The screws at the top of the chair are hex /allen key heads, rather than standard cross head screws.

The tilt mechanism faces backwards.

The handle to the rear of the chair is held in place via 4 'grub screws'.

The height adjustment facility is wind up.

The wheels are single wheeled castors.

The end caps on the tilt mechanism are aluminium.

Now, the points which cast doubt are mainly the fact that there are only 4 legs to the chair, and that the 4 legs are also on wheels.

Additionally, there is a clear plastic coating on the arms which has worn away - (the chair is in pretty bad shape all over). Also, the screws that hold the arms to the frame are standard cross head screws.

I've only been able to find one other chair online that is identical (as far as I can tell) as seen here -

- 4 legs, with wheels. I've not been able to find any other examples - there are some that have 4 legs, but I've only seen this one with 4 legs AND wheels.

So, any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks
