Product Description

Here we have a beautiful zinc original, vintage Herman Miller ‘H’ base made for the Eames arm & side fiberglass shell chairs complete with its vintage patina. This base is an original, untouched H base and each base may show different levels of vintage patina than shown on the image - further pics available and are recommended on request.

One of the earliest bases, the ‘H’ base was the second generation of the ‘X’ base and, as a result, kept the same name. It was used quite widely on the Eames Side and Arm shells throughout their production.

This H base is in good used condition with some general signs of age present. Further pictures are available and are recommended before purchasing especially as this is a slightly longer 'wallsaver' version which is designed to have the feet touch the bottom of the wall rather than the top of the seat top.

The rough measurements for the brackets that fit to the shell are:

Front hole to front hole (middle to middle) 18.25cm

Back hole to back hole (middle to middle) 11.75cm

Front hole to back hole (middle to middle) 17.5cm
