About the company:
John Salterini ~ Italian, 1928-1952
While John B. Salterini designed ornate wrought-iron garden
furniture for patios and lawns, he specifically sought to match the
forms of indoor furniture and also advocated the use of his
furniture indoors “because it brings into your home the freshness
and gaiety of a flowery summer garden” (per his print
advertisements).
After emigrating from Italy to New York, Salterini worked in
journalism at first, editing a newspaper in Syracuse. When he moved
to New York City, he worked in glass manufacturing and then entered
into the production of wrought-iron furniture as a partner in
Salterini & Gallo. When that company shuttered, he launched his own
eponymous firm in 1934, eventually offering some of the most
exquisite, high-end outdoor furniture of the mid-century period.
Over the course of his career, Salterini designed a wide range of
furniture, from tables and chairs to chaise longues, ottomans and
benches. And his influences were equally wide as well. His work is
often identified as mid-century modern — the Clamshell line,
designed for Salterini’s company by like-minded Italian architect
and industrial designer Maurizio Tempestini, boasts soft curves and
cocoon-like shells that strike a sharp contrast with the solidity of
wrought iron and resemble the zany chair designs emerging during the
postwar period from designers like Pierre Paulin and Arne Jacobsen.
The furniture from John B. Salterini Company also combined organic
and geometric forms, one of the mid-century design movement’s
defining features. But Salterini was equally influenced by the
Gothic Revival and Art Deco movements, incorporating their signature
flourishes like intricate lace-like patterns, delicate vine leaves
and protruding scrolls into his French Provincial Group’s
glass-topped tables and chairs. One of his most ornate and
ostentatious designs is the Peacock double chaise longue, with its
elaborate spokes and arching back.
The postwar boom in prosperity and leisure time led to the expansion
of the home to include patios, which needed to be furnished with
stylish outdoor furniture. Wrought iron was considered the best
material for outdoor use because of its comparative lightness and
pliability to other metals. The term “wrought” means made by hand,
as opposed to “cast” iron, which was made using molds. Salterini’s
high-end handcrafted furniture, with names like Park Avenue Group —
promoted for indoor use and photographed as such for the firm’s
catalogues — attracted wealthy buyers from across the country. They
were drawn to his ability to make a metal like wrought iron look
almost ethereal and elegant, and the way he incorporated the popular
styles and design principles of the day into his pieces.
That John B. Salterini’s vintage garden furniture can be used
indoors and look completely natural is a rare feat. Source: 1st
