Wäckerlin, steam-curved Mulberry desk chair with Vienna straw seat and hand-wrought iron hardware.
A piece of history dating back to the end of the Napoleonic period.
In the late 1800s, there was widespread development of a very active foreign entrepreneurship in Catania, and it arrived in Sicily via the British fleet soon after the Napoleonic army advanced into the Kingdom of Naples in 1798. This would develop into a furniture and furnishings industry so innovative that Catania's Wäckerlin would become a famous company in Italy and Europe.
By the end of 1870, this company, which had grown to 250 workers, was granted a royal patent for the entire kingdom for the manufacture of the chairs used in Vienna, and counted among its customers the royal arsenals of the State Railways, public administrations, and above all, drum roll, the Royal House of Savoy.
Wäckerlin's catalog, in 1915, would be written in four languages, and Anna, Berta, Frieda, Lydia and Marta, Giovanni's daughters, would give their names to magnificent theater chairs that would conquer Europe.
