About the Item

A pair of 1960s Italian brass Chiavari side chairs. This iconic and elegant design has been a design staple for a century and has today, in its luxurious brass form, become synonymous with Hollywood Regency style. Raw silk original upholstered seat in red. Solid and heavy cast brass frame, marked "made in Italy" under seat. The Chiavari chair, also known as the Chiavarina, or Tiffany chair, is a wooden chair of Ligurian design. Much later the Chiavari chair was made in brass, like the ones for sale here. The Chiavarina was created in 1807 by a cabinetmaker from Chiavari on the northwestern Italian coast, Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi, who at the invitation of the president of the Economic Society of Chiavari, the Marquis Stefano Rivarola, reworked some chairs in the French Empire style, simplifying the decorative elements and lightening the structural elements. The chair was a success and soon many factories opened in Chiavari and surrounding towns. When Gaetano Descalzi died in 1855, about 600 workers were making Chiavari chairs. The chair was praised by Charles Albert of Savoy, Napoleon III, and by the sculptor Antonio Canova. The success of the Chiavarina declined following the introduction of the Austrian chairs of Michael Thonet which were mass-produced, less expensive, and consisting of few elements easily assembled, and in the second half of the twentieth century, following competition from industrial production. The architect and designer Gio Ponti was inspired by the structural system of the Chiavari chair for his Superleggera chair of 1955.
