What is the value of the original Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman?

There is a set of the original Eames Lounge Chair and ottoman at my friend's home. She asked me if I know the value of it, but I had not clue! I found out the background and the history but nothing about the price. Could you please tell me? Thank you.


"The chair with Ottoman retail for around $3,200 or more, depending on the selection of veneer and leather... Prices for original rosewood chairs have recently reached as much as USD $7,000 in auction."
