there is a Eames Rope Edge for sale in my area. Unfortunately it's cracked. What do you think is the value of the chair? I could have it restored, the owner also says he has asked for restoration quotes.
What do you think? Would you buy it and if so, what would be a reasonable price?
thanks.

Yeah, hardly seems worth the trouble, considering the all around visibility of the damage. If you're going to buy one with issues, you can find one that looks much nicer than this. The big missing corner chunk is a tough repair.
I don't know what you are planning to pay, but just for example, there is a dark grey rope chair on ebay (rarer and more desirable color) with a perfect rope edge and just one small drilled hole that would be much easier to repair. The corner repair will always show, even if it is done well.
Just my two cents of course. And for the record, it's been a while since I saw it, so double check my facts as I may have missed recalling something.
