Selling an authentic Eames lounger & ottoman  

yes
but yours has the advantage of NOT being a knockoff
ebay is the world. A good audience for something so desirable.
Do you have proof it's authentic? Receipts, etc?
You could pay someone to do the eBay STUFF for you. There are folks who would gladly do so for you. Google your area for contacts.
Reputable = Higher cut of your investment.

Where are you?
England?

thanks waffle. good...
thanks waffle. good advice
No receipt as it was bought years ago (and 4 house moves ago) but I'm hoping there are some very obvious ways for the buyer to see that it is real vs a repro, so will do some homework on that. perhaps a serial no?
it is definitely authentic - thats the issue with ebay isn't it, lots of repros and i want to make sure ours doesn't get mixed up in those listings.

Hi Kate
Consign it or sell it to a UK dealer. Selling it will bring instant money but a lower price, consigning will bring a higher return but you have no idea how long it will take to sell. It woudlnt take too long on google to find a good UK dealer who sells eames furniture.

Thanks for this. Do you know...
Thanks for this. Do you know any UK dealers which you could recommend?
