Dear fellows,

I know this topic has been a subject of a great scrutiny, but I just happened to get a chance to buy a pair of (purportedly) Wassily chairs in brown leather.

I’m attaching the pictures, tubes with cap endings and no sign of any Gavina/Knoll etc. print or stamp look definitely suspicious.

Please assess and tell me whether to go for it or it’s just another knock-off. 

Price is some 2000 euros for the pair, so not cheap at all.

Many thanks.

End caps are always a deal-breaker.

Same as it ever was.

So it’s a 100% knock-off? I mean, there is no chance these on the pictures could be authentic, correct?

Let me put it this way, I hope whomever it is offering a pair of these for 2K is neither a friend nor family.

No need to offer a reason for passing on the chairs, either. 

You were right to not ignore your instincts.

Welcome to the forum.
