History of the Chiavari Chair:  

The Chiavarina was created in 1807 by a cabinetmaker from Chiavari on the northwestern Italian Coast, Giuseppe Gaetano Descalzi, who, at the invitation of the President of the Economic Society of Chiavari, the Marquis Stefano Rivarola, reworked some chairs in the French Empire style, simplifying the decorative elements and lightening of the structural elements.  The chair was a success and was praised by the likes of Charles Albert of Savoy, 

Napoleon lll, and by the sculptor Antonio Canova.
