RARE Sacchetti Miniature Koken Barber Chair Sterling Silver & Walnut OOAK

Why You’ll Love It

An extraordinary example of Italian artisan miniature craftsmanship, this highly detailed barber chair by Gianfranco Sacchetti captures the elegance and mechanical ingenuity of a late 19th-century Koken Congress-style chair in true 1:12 scale. Masterfully constructed in .925 sterling silver, the piece is elevated by rich carved walnut armrests and a sleek black patent leather seat and backrest, creating a striking interplay of texture and tone.

Every element reflects Sacchetti’s renowned attention to detail—from the finely rendered hydraulic base and reclining mechanism to the beautifully sculpted ornate footrest, echoing the iconic design of antique barbershop furnishings. The chair is mounted on a signature circular wooden base, showcasing a warm, natural woodgrain that contrasts elegantly with the polished silver structure.

The proportions, materials, and construction make this piece feel like a true scaled artifact rather than a simple miniature—perfect for anchoring a Victorian barbershop scene, pairing with artisan grooming tools, or standing as a singular statement collectible within a refined display.
