Set of Six Mario Papperzini for Salterini, Iron Lattice Outdoor Armchairs

An exceptional set of six wrought iron outdoor armchairs designed by Mario Papperzini for Salterini, among the most iconic names in American and Italian mid-century garden furniture. Featuring Papperzini's distinctive lattice back, graceful curved crest rail, sculptural spherical finials, and elegantly proportioned iron frame, these chairs exemplify the sophisticated craftsmanship that made Salterini furniture highly sought after by designers and collectors.

Originally intended for luxurious terraces and garden settings, these versatile chairs transition beautifully indoors, where they complement Mediterranean, Spanish Revival, Hollywood Regency, Neoclassical, Modern, and Contemporary interiors. Their open architectural design provides visual lightness while the hand-forged wrought iron construction offers exceptional durability.

The naturally aged finish, with areas of oxidation and paint loss, creates a rich authentic patina that is highly desirable for today's interiors. They are equally stunning surrounding a travertine, limestone, glass, teak, or iron dining table, making them an excellent choice for both residential and hospitality projects.

Increasingly difficult to find in complete sets, these Mario Papperzini for Salterini chairs are prized by interior designers, architects, collectors, and design enthusiasts for their timeless elegance and sculptural presence.
