"Maurizio Tempestini for Salterini" Seating Group

Palm Springs Cool!  This rare and outstanding seating group by Florentine designer Maurizio Tempestini (1908-1960) was produced by the John B. Salterini Company.  As noted in an earlier post, John B. Salterini emigrated from Italy to New York in the 1920's and began producing the finest and highest quality iron furniture from his Brooklyn studio in the 1930's.  Initially he was producing pieces mainly for the New York "establishment".  Eventually the company expanded production to meet the growing demand for their furniture, but still maintained the highest standards of quality and design.  This very versatile six piece "Ribbon" seating group is comprised of three chairs which can be used individually or as a two seater and a single chair, two glass top side tables which are two-tiered, and a glass top coffee table.  The set has been fully restored but retains it's original pink leatherette cushions.  The cushions are beautifully upholstered and are in great condition.  The seat cushions have brass air vents.  This is a sensational set that would add a chic pop to a sun room, patio or even a living room.  Originally, these pieces were used as much indoors as out.
