A rare chance to acquire an authentic Eames LCW in striking red‑lacquered birch plywood, recently offered from a private Sydney collection where it has resided for over 15 years. A hallmark of Charles and Ray Eames’ celebrated seating design—first shown in 1945 and widely acknowledged as a defining object of twentieth‑century design—this example retains the LCW’s iconic sculptural form: the compound‑curved seat and back, the elegant plywood spine, and splayed wooden legs that create the chair’s characteristic low, relaxed stance.
The vivid red lacquer gives the piece a bold, graphic presence that feels simultaneously true to its era and perfectly at home in contemporary interiors. Original maker’s labels are present on the underside. The chair is in good vintage condition and displays honest patina and surface wear consistent with genuine age—crazing and casing to the lacquer that speak to a life well lived and impart a depth of character no reproduction can match. Sourced in Sydney.
