360,00 €

Chiavari Opéra chair, mid-20th century.

This elegant neoclassical Chiavari Opéra chair is crafted from polished brass. These chairs gained fame in 1953 when they were used at the wedding of John and Jackie Kennedy. The brass frame is notable for its substantial weight and intricate details, hallmarking the quality typical of Italian craftsmanship. The front spindle legs feature a balustrade shape ending in a pointed tip, characteristic of this period. The rear legs extend seamlessly upwards, ensuring the chair’s stability. It’s an excellent choice for a vanity table or as a side chair, sure to impress with its refined elegance.

Chiavari chairs are named after the Italian town where they originated. This small town in northern Italy began producing these chairs in the early 19th century. In 1807, Gaetano Descalzi designed a lightweight, elegant, yet sturdy chair made of cherry wood, known as the “Chiavarine.” The design was inspired by a Louis XV chair with a side backrest but without upholstery. Initially intended for dining rooms, these chairs gained widespread recognition after the Kennedy wedding and became popular in ballrooms and as luxurious accent chairs in homes.

ERGONOMIC CHAIR TAN SAD

320,00 €

Ergonomic chair "Do More," manufactured by Tan Sad in England for Ahrend around 1920.

A special, rare, vintage ergonomic chair in its original condition. It was used by employees of the Opcina tramway in Opicina, making it not only an interesting industrial chair but also one with a fascinating history and story. Ahrend introduced itself to the Dutch market with a series of chairs and tables called "doe meer" (do more). They were manufactured in the Tan Sad factory in England, known for producing the first ergonomic chairs. In 1920, comfort was a significant luxury, and factory workers often sat on benches without backrests. The "Do More" chair was, therefore, far ahead of its time. As seen in advertisements from that era, it promised workers: "The ideal chair for the working person. For use in offices, drafting rooms, laboratories, for operating office machines and telephones, etc. The right support for your work." Due to its specially designed frame – the seat is adjustable in height, and the backrest can be adjusted in height and angle – it is a chair on which you can sit for hours without any issues, while also encouraging proper posture. Dimensions: 82 x 54 x 46 cm Weight: 9.2 kg The chair is in good condition, and although it could be reupholstered, the original cover adds to its sentimental value.
