About the Item

Offered is a beautiful chiavari chair made in Liguria, Italy, in the 1930s, probably older. It shows some scratches, also patina and paint lost, but this is old-age. It has a woven wicker seat, minor patina gives this pieces a classy statement. Just a little history about: Chiavarina was created in 1807 r. by a local cabinetmaker Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi. He was invited by Economic society of Chiavari, to rework some chairs in the French Empire style. He was asked to simplify the decorative elements and lighten the structural elements. In this way, the new chair model named campanino was created. The chair was a success immediately and soon many factories opened in Chiavari and surrounding towns. When Gaetano Descalzi died in 1855, about 600 workers were making chiavarine. The success of the chair from Chiavari decreased after the introduction of the Austrian Thonet chairs. The Austrian chairs were mass-produced, less expensive, and consisting of few elements easily assembled.
