Which is it? Okay, I need help with this design. I see antique dealers attributing this scroll-style, iron furniture to Saletrini in one ad and then to Arthur Umanoff's "Grenada Collection" in another. I have a bar and a matching swivel bar chair in the scroll style. The bar originally looked exactly like Umanoff's other bars (as seen on 1st Dibs) plus the scroll design all down the front. However, the wood structure within it was destroyed from years of neglect and I chose not to replace it. I just put in glass shelves and let the iron be the focal point. Anyway, I sure would like to know why they keep saying this scroll design was Umanoff's design one minute and Salterini the next. I personally think it is more than likely Umanoff's design because the bar design and bar chair is the same base style as all of his other bars and chairs. Anyone have any differing opinion of more detail about Umanoff and Salterini? Thanks.
Picked up an orphaned Pontoppidan nesting table today from a local dealer cleaning out some stock, and decided to buy a Lane side table and solid walnut magazine rack as well since the prices were too good to pass up.
I initially thought the rack was in the style of Umanoff, but after a little Internet poking around, believe it to be an actual Umanoff World Wide Collection for Washington Woodworks (straylight does seem to be the online authority on this subject). The wood and joints are in very good shape and I'll give it a cleaning tomorrow.
My first Umanoff, so there was a quick learning curve today to get more familiar with his work.
