A stunning pair of authentic Italian brass Chiavari chairs dating to the 1960s, sourced from a Palm Beach estate. These dramatic high-back opera chairs feature the iconic Chiavari silhouette in solid brass with exquisite faux bamboo detailing throughout the frame, arched spindle back, and a sculptural gothic-inspired crest.
The original brown velvet seat cushions are intact and in remarkable condition — the chairs show minimal use and retain their original corner protectors on the seat undersides, suggesting they spent most of their lives in storage.
The warm patina on the brass frames is the natural result of age and adds to their authenticity and charm, consistent with genuine vintage Italian production. Each chair has a minor hairline crack to the decorative crest casting — cosmetic only and structurally insignificant. All four legs on both chairs are solid and stable.
Chiavari chairs of this style were produced in Chiavari, Italy — a town with a 200-year tradition of chair-making — and became synonymous with mid-century European glamour, appearing in Italian opera houses, grand hotels, and the homes of discerning collectors. This brass iteration is among the most sought-after versions, prized by interior designers for their ability to work equally well in maximalist and minimal interiors.
Perfect as accent chairs, vanity chairs, or a dramatic pair flanking a console or entry table. Ready to style as-is or reupholster the seats in your fabric of choice — the drop-in cushion construction makes this simple.
Sold as a pair. Local pickup available in Miami, FL.
