Item description

Chair by Wäckerlin (Catania) with bent mulberry wood structure and Vienna straw seat, 19th century. Hand-wrought iron hardware. The late 19th century saw the development of a very active foreign business in Catania, which arrived in Sicily via the British fleet soon after the Napoleonic army advanced into the Kingdom of Naples in 1798. Thus developed a furniture and furnishings industry so innovative that Wäckerlin of Catania became famous in Italy and Europe. In the late 1870s this company, which had grown to 250 workers, obtained a royal patent for the entire Kingdom for the manufacture of the Vienna chairs and counted among its customers the royal arsenals of the State Railways, public administrations but above all the Royal House of Savoy. Wäckerlin's catalog in 1915 was written in four languages, and Anna, Berta, Frieda, Lydia and Marta, Giovanni's daughters, gave their names to those magnificent theater chairs that would conquer Europe.
