Beautiful And Elegant Silver Chiavari Chairs

By Bonnie Contreras


Chiavari chair, widely known as Tiffany chair or the Chiavarina, is a very elegant, usually wooden chair of Ligurian design. It was created back in 1807, by a cabinet maker Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi, who had lived in Italian village called Chiavari. Silver Chiavari chairs remain popular till today, and some manufacturers in Italy are still producing them on the traditional way.

It can really be said these chairs are timeless. Although they were first designed a long time ago, they are still highly popular and appreciated. The sets of silver and golden chairs are kept in the White house, too. They use them in the State Dining Room, and in Family Dining Room, and they were also used at president's Obama inauguration. His family members and friends were sitting on them during the ceremony.

You can easily store these lovely pieces, in six to seven chair stalks. That makes them just perfect for rental chairs as well. It is important to protect them while being kept in storage. The maintenance is quite simple, all you need to do is to remove possible stains and fix the joints once a year.

Originally, they were made of wild cherry and maple wood, and after that, also of beech wood and ash. The seats were made using purple willow. Thin strips of wood were hand woven and tied according to Mr. Descalzi's instructions. The same traditional method is still used in his home town and nearby places in numerous small manufacturing facilities.

These lovely pieces of furniture are surprisingly light and strong at the same time. Comfortable and beautifully designed, they are widely appreciated and loved. It would be hard to imagine the perfect wedding ceremony without widely popular white Chiavarinas. Although silver and gold finishes are more suited for different special events, today you can find Chiavarinas made from all kinds of materials, and in all imaginable colors.

These chairs are so elegantly shaped that they really can fit in any environment, luxurious or cozy. They have some kind o timeless elegance and simplicity which just cannot be replicated easily, although many designers have tried. In one word, a real work of art. It is possible that this chair is the most famous and the most widely used chair ever.

Mahogany made Chiavarina is especially popular today. Its rich, warm brown tones with a touch of red look great in both rustic and elegant ambiances. Numerous rich layers of lacquer give amazingly luxurious shine to the wood. Golden honey Chiavarinas are mostly made of different fruit woods, including cherry and walnut, but other types of wood are also used.

White Chiavarina is irreplaceable when it comes to weddings, of course. Rental Tiffany chairs are available in most places, because they are the perfect choice for such special occasion. They can be combined with red, blue, velvet or gold cushions, or additionally decorated with flowers, textile or ribbons. Of course, these lovely pieces can be ordered in any possible custom color as well.

Gold, white and silver Chiavari chairs are still the most popular ones. They can be used in any possible occasion, and they will always add a touch of luxury and elegance to every event, wedding, ceremonial event or just a formal dinner. Timeless and decorative, lightweight and luxurious at the same time, these lovely pieces of furniture are just irreplaceable.
