Salvino Marsura Catene coat stand

An intersticing network of subterranean-like lines are held in the balance. Featuring spore-like hooks, the Catene’s sculptural form meets functionality as a coat stand. 

The piece 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.
