  Alberto Marconetti / Italian Post-War Design Armchairs c. 1960’s

  ALBERTO MARCONETTI  Milan, Italy (active Argentina)

  Armchairs (Two available) c. 1960’s

  H: 40 1/2”  x  W:  27”  x D: 21”
  Seat height: 19″

  Price: $7,450 (each)

  This pair of armchairs nods to the influence of such Italian designers as Carlo Bugatti and Carlo Mollino yet are their own unique creation.  They have an unusual anthropomorphic quality in that the frame suggests a skeletal structure.  In addition, the leather strapwork, iron loops and hooks allude to the equipage of the ancient Roman equestrian order.
