19Th Century, Italian Garden Wood and Wrought Iron Bench with Cloth Canopy

About the Item

19Th Century, Italian Garden Wood and Wrought Iron Bench with Cloth Canopy This rare garden bench was made in Italy in the 19th Century. The structure is made of wrought iron. The seat consists of two wooden planks. The backrest, inclined to make the support comfortable, has a wooden board supported by iron elements. This particular wall bar can be tilted, in order to offer an opposable seat depending on the sun exposure. The legs of the bench have a soft and graceful design, with circular iron elements that connect in the center and between the two feet. On the sides of the seat there are other elements in iron, wavy and sinuous, which converge in the center, on which is inserted the structure that makes up the canopy. This is covered with white and yellow striped fabric with pelmets on both sides. The tent is retractable, with a reel system, which allows both partial opening and complete closure. Wrought iron is considered the best material for outdoor use due to its durability, lightness of image and ductility compared to other metals. The term " Wrought " means worked by hand, unlike cast iron, produced with moulds. The handmade wrought iron furniture is characterized by a characteristic almost ethereal and extremely elegant appearance. Very rare to find on the antiques market, the bench is an outdoor element capable of conferring, with great decoration, refinement to environments, such as porches, gardens, terraces, still perfectly usable to benefit from a moment of quiet.

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...
