Salvino Marsura Baccello del Seme chandelier

Shaped to evoke the foliated casing of a pod, the Baccello del Seme chandelier frames light as if it were a seed within. Buds and stem-like forms are clutched by a ceiling hook in this bouquet of iron. An asymmetric arrangement of form, light emanates from the clustered iron shell at the chandelier’s centre. 

The piece is in good condition, with patination true to its age. It has been recently rewired and PAT tested to UK standards.

Salvino Marsura (1938-2020) was an artisan metalworker. After learning his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor and ‘iron poet’ Toni Benetton, he spent more than 60 years producing sculpture, furniture, objects and memorials in his hometown of Treviso, Italy.

Marsura’s ironwork art and furniture relishes in the manual aesthetic of the forge, giving voice to the raw metal and the processes of its manipulation including sweltering heat, hammering, bending and welding. His distinctive hand marries elements of brutalism and traditional decorative arts.
