Salvino Marsura Dalí chandelier

Stems of iron swerve and outstretch from the Dalí chandelier. At the tip of each curl rests a flower, from which the light radiates.

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

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.
