Debuting in the late 19th Century and originally made of cherry wood, the Chiavarine, as it was known by maker Gaetano Descalzi, was immediately adopted by the ballroom. Soon after, it jumped the pond, and was adopted as the official wedding chair of the White House, after which it became a staple of nuptials all over the country.
