This pair is painted in a turquoise finish and aged naturally into a stunning oxidized patina that designers, collectors, and luxury estate buyers seek for outdoor staging and curated patio spaces. One of the pieces has an "oops" pink spot where it appears that in a previous life, the pair was almost painted a ballet pink.

The chairs feature gracefully arched backs framed by elegant scroll motifs, creating a romantic, Mediterranean-meets-Hollywood Regency silhouette. The woven strap seats add dimensional texture while maintaining exceptional structural integrity. The iron joints are finished with decorative hand-wrapped coils, a design detail strongly associated with Salterini’s mid-century outdoor collections, produced for upscale resorts, hotels, and private coastal estates.

These chairs appeal to discerning buyers who appreciate heritage outdoor furniture with old-money character, ideal for courtyards, covered patios, garden dining nooks, and conservatory styling. Their color and patina make them especially suited for curated environments inspired by Palm Beach patios, Santa Fe courtyards, and French or Mediterranean garden design.
