Antique Wrought-Iron and Leather Savonarola Chair, early 20th century
Located in Shippensburg, PA
POLYCHROMED WROUGHT-IRON AND SADDLE-LEATHER SAVONAROLA CHAIR
With cerule form, probably early 20th century
Item # 311ESB30P
** Sold individually, but we may have up to 4 of these chairs available **
A very compelling form, this classical "Savonarola" chair is crafted entirely by hand using forged iron that shows every trace of the blacksmith's work throughout the surface. They are in a cerule form with hammered spade feet, the legs joined with a central pivot point at the center of each cyma-curvature, this joint decorated with a wonderful iron rosette on both the front and back. The seat and seat-back are slung with leather that is affixed with rawhide lacing, the seat-back decorated with two beautifully formed finials with ruby-red and part gilt highlights to the surface. These are being sold individually, but we acquired these as a set of four and may still have several available. The images are of only one of the four chairs, but they are all identical in overall condition and form.
Measurements: 33 1/2" H x 18 3/8" D x 26" W; 19 1/4" H to seat
Condition Report:
Distressed wrought-iron with loss to polychroming and part gilding throughout; incredibly strong and stable; leather is modern and in good condition with only minor wear.

20TH Century, Twelve Italian Wrought Iron Garden Chairs
By John Salterini, Mario Papperzini
Located in IT
20TH Century, Twelve Italian Wrought Iron Garden Chairs
Measurements: cm H 97,5 x W 47,5 x D 58. Seat: cm H 50 x D 45 x W 45
This series of twelve outdoor chairs, rare to find in this issue, was made in Italy around the middle of the 20th century, in hand-forged wrought iron. The elegant reinterpretation of the classic garden furniture models is inspired by the design of Mario Papperzini for John Salterini who found great demand in America and Europe, especially in France and Italy.
The iron elements, square section, draw a graceful and soft line and end at the top with brass knobs. Back and seat are composed of iron elements that are intertwined in a lattice emphasizing the austerity and simplicity of the whole. Very decorative is the system of support of the chairs consisting of curved iron legs and joined together by a crossbar on which rest the semicircle elements of the upper structure. Papperzini’s highly appreciated design is here interpreted with taste and elegance, proposing a line of chairs always suitable for any outdoor environment, such as a terrace, garden and patio, but also indoors.
John Salterini, an Italian immigrant to New York, formed his own company in 1934 after the dissolution of Salterini & Gallo, of which he was a partner, which produced wrought iron articles. The post-war boom led to the expansion of homes in the USA, whose owners wanted to own large patios that had to be furnished with elegant outdoor furniture. Salterini managed to offer them some of the most refined outdoor furniture of the time. Throughout his career, Salterini designed and produced a wide range of furniture, from tables and chairs to chaise longues, poufs and benches...
