Doesn't have any obvious giveaways of being fake, so I wanted to ask. I can't get any more picture sorry. Looks to be vintage rosewood wit brown leather?

From what I can see it looks authentic.
I have a vintage Eames Lounge with exactly the same colour leather.

Thanks
Thank you! My instinct is that it's real, but does anyone disagree? I've wanted this for so long that I'd hate to buy a fake. Normally I can authenticate a chair from a mile away but when it comes to buying it for myself I want to be extra cautious 🙂

Appears right.
Not a lot to go on in those pics, but the edges of the panels look the way they should.
If I were going to purchase that set sight unseen for the going price, though, I'd want pics of the backsides of the cushions and/or the underside of the chair. It's likely, if authentic, that the chair is of the age when the condition of its shock mounts might be a concern.

The shock mounts definitely...
The shock mounts definitely are a concern, if you look closely the TV is propping up the armrests so they're probably shot. I can easily repair those though.
I actually will be able to see the chair in person but it's at an estate sale and I won't likely have much time to contemplate and inspect before someone else snatches it up.
Thanks!

I note a colour difference between seat and ottoman
Not to raise a flag...Perhaps due to the the flash,but the leather in the ottoman appears to be lighter.It is more subtle in the non flash shot,but nevertheless,you should closely inspect
