"Chiavarina" chair - high back version of the "Chiavari" - by SAC. 1950's Italy
About the Item
This exquisite "Chiavarina" chair, a high-back version of the classic "Chiavari", was produced by S.A.C. in 1950s Italy during the Neoclassical Revival era. Renowned for its elegant proportions and lightweight construction, this chair embodies the artisanal craftsmanship and refined aesthetic that made Chiavari chairs highly sought after.
This design reflects Gio Ponti's philosophy of combining delicacy with strength, though no definitive attribution can be confirmed. What is certain is that the chair’s graceful form, intricate joinery, and fine materials make it a remarkable piece of mid-century Italian design, influenced by the Neoclassical tradition.
Constructed from Superleggera wood, this chair is impressively light yet sturdy, a true testament to the skill of Italian furniture makers. The hand-woven straw seat adds warmth and authenticity, maintaining the tradition of craftsmanship that defines Chiavari chairs.
This piece is in overall good vintage condition, with minor traces of use consistent with age and wear, preserving its original character and charm.
A timeless collector’s item, this high-back Chiavarina is not just a chair but a sculptural masterpiece, blending Neoclassical elegance with mid-century modern craftsmanship—perfect for lovers of Italian design, historic revival styles, and fine furniture.
