We love this Lucite chair! Fashioned after the classic Chiavari or ballroom chair, which is a versatile party favorite.
Ballroom chairs were invented for ladies with big ball gown skirts to perch upon. Once in awhile you can find an antique or vintage one, and use it as an accent chair,
It is the quintessential party chair. Above Preston Bailey dresses it in lace.
Many people use ballroom chairs as dining chairs. They look great in a home setting.
These two are from the early 1800's

The antique or vintage brass Chiavari hails from Italian roots.
These two are mid 20th century.
The delicate lines and faux bamboo texture give it an airy feeling. However, thousands of these chairs do hard duty for zillions of events, so they are sturdy.
Here are some antique French ballroom chairs.

We think our new Lucite chair would make a great desk or vanity chair, or a set of 4, 6, 0r 8 would make wonderful dining chairs.

It's very well priced at $275. for one chair. Come in and get yours today, or order it from our our web site HERE. We can make a comfy custom cushion in your choice of fabric too.

I saw these when I was in a couple of weeks ago - they are gorgeous! Thank you for sharing the history of the chairs, very informative :)
I am in LOVE with that lucite chair! I am saddened that I cannot squeeze one more into what Richie already calls "The House of Many Chairs." *sigh*
Gorgeous chair! I stupidly passed up on a gilt faux bamboo number that had been gracing the ballroom of one of Melbourne's Gold Rush mansions. CRAZY! It was sold by the time I cam to my senses. In matters of design-hunting, "she who hesitates cries in her latte".
I am pea-green with envy of those who purchase one of your lucite numbers. What a pity I'm so far away...
These are great lucite chairs. Most of the users have rated these as their favorite handy furniture.
