Confusing
It is an authentic LCW, but parts of it do not quite make sense. 5-2-5 bolt pattern was characteristic of Evans, but the foil label indicates Herman Miller production (mid to late 1950s).
Evans had
Evans had production until 1949 when manufacture moved to Michigan. I wonder if this was old stock that moved, or possibly the label fell off and was replaced with the current one. THe placement of the label is a little wierd - all Evans labels I've seen are stuck right under the front lip of the seat.
Still, a gorgeous chair - along with most of the other items the seller has for sale.
That is a strange sticker...
That is a strange sticker placement. Have you inquired with the seller about the history of this piece? Might shed some light.
Another thing to consider is perhaps the seat was replaced with a later version. Wouldn't account for the well matched graining and finish.
good
completely fine.
the chair is between the evans production and first herman miller production. they placed the stickers anywhere. i would not worry about the placement.
closer
upon closer inspection, the shockmounts on the seat bottom and probably the seat back look re-glued. if you are in indeed interested in purchasing it you should request close-up images of these areas. i do on any chair as common practice as they are most likely a problem at that age...
and the backrest looks like...
I thought the embossed rectangular labels (with rounded corners) were the labels that were used during this period. Is that wrong?
Also, the backrest looks like it's on a bit crooked to me...
