By Bonnie Contreras


If you have ever seen lovely silver Chiavari chairs, you understand why these things are so popular. Beautiful and timeless Chiavari chair, sometimes called Tiffany chair or Chiavarina, was first made a long time ago, in small Italian village Chiavari. The local craftsman Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi, a cabinet maker, designed his first chair after long time of careful consideration about it, and it immediately became very popular, and it is still very popular, in all parts of the world.

These lovely, elegant and timeless chairs are still in use in the State Dining Room, as well as in Family dining Room in the White House. At current American president Barack Obama inauguration, his family and guests were sitting on silver Chiavari chairs. For more than two centuries now, these simple and elegant pieces of furniture are appreciated all over the world.

They are widely popular as rented furniture as well. They are so easy to storage, because they can easily be put on each other in high stalks, and are light enough to be carried around. Easy maintainable and highly durable, although so light, it is also easy to clean them.

They were originally made using cherry wood, maple wood and after that, some other types of wood, for example beech and ash. The seats are made using very thin strips of purple willow, strong and elastic. The strips were hand woven and tied on the original way for centuries. This old method is still used in small shops producing original chairs in Italy.

Stack ability and lightness wouldn't be so important if these pieces aren't so remarkably timeless and elegant. Today you will find them made from all imaginable materials, including bamboo, polyester, metals such as steel and aluminum, and even bronze.

Other types of wood can also be used in manufacturing these pieces. For example, mahogany. This lovely, luxurious wood is just perfect for making especially classic and elegant furniture, thanks to its deep and rich color and great performances. It is also very popular lately for making these lovely Chiavarinas. If you prefer lighter, golden nuances, you can choose different woods, for example walnut.
