Im on my way to look at a new saarinen womb chair...they are asking 1000 dollars for it, im just wondering what signs I need to tell its authenticity ...I know the overall look and what fakes look like, I need to know if there's a knoll label or something to look for.

When you say "a NEW Saarinen Womb chair"...
... do you mean that the chair is brand new, or just that it'll be new to you?
Is it being sold by a dealer or a private party?
Have you asked whether the chair is made by Knoll? What'd the seller say?

Coincidentally..

Good luck
