AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Slate coffee table on "Contract Base"\nDesign Charles & Ray Eames, Herman Miller 1960\n\nCoffee table, Herman Miller edition from the 1960s-70s. Slate top on a 'Contract Base' pedestal in chrome finish.\n\nThe Eames 'Contract Base' was launched by Herman Miller in 1957 and was part of the 'Alu Group' range.\n\nThe Eames Contract Base coffee tables and dining tables used a common pedestal/leg type with a wide variation of tops.\n\nMost tops are not very aesthetic as they have a laminate finish. But during the 1960s, natural stone tops were added to the range, such as onyx, marble and slate as in this example.\n\nThe table is in very good condition; the chrome finish is only damaged in a small area of the base — see photo.\n\nShipping to Europe can be arranged after the sale ends. Shipping costs are the buyer's responsibility.
