This is a sculptural wood leg splint, designed for the U.S. Navy in the early 1940s by Charles and Ray Eames. The piece was created of birch and molded plywood, and the wood has taken on a wonderful warm patina over the years. Many staunch Eames aficionados consider these splints to be the nonpareil in their collections. It was the precursor to their bent plywood furniture and informed their innovations.

The splint measures 8 inches wide, 4 inches deep and 47.75 inches in height. The piece is in very good condition, but remains a vintage piece that will exhibit signs of time and use. Please see all photos.

The buyer may pick up the furniture, have it shipped by our shipping partners (buyer will pay for full shipping cost, though will not have to arrange it), or discuss potential delivery within reason following the end of the auction. The listed shipping cost is an estimate, though we can likely stay below that number for most areas of the country. If you win the item, we can discuss shipping options, prices, etc. and we will make sure that it is as inexpensive for you as possible. We work with a shipper locally who takes great care in their work and has been complemented often on their packing and shipping quality.
