Hi,

I am quite new to this forum. In fact this is my first post. Do have a quick question on these chairs. I saw a pair for sale upholstered with hair on hide. Price is about US$1200. How can I tell if these are original or a reproduction. Also, the note says that the skins are used well but are perfectly functional, but have not seen it in person. Wish I good attach a photo i downloaded. in any case would like your feedback on price and the way to distinguish the bonafide vs. reproduction of these chairs.

Thx.

Tsquared

Pics of the Arne Norell Chairs
i'm reposting with a comparable pic of the chairs. The difference is that the chairs i'm interested are in cowhide.
Thanks.

If you are in the boston area I think I know the chairs you are talking about. If it helps I have seen a number of pieces of Eames furniture for sale by the same seller, and all were clearly labelled as such.
And worst case scenario you ask the seller for the chairs provenance.
