Salvino Marsura Pavone fire screen

The majestic tail of a peacock was the inspiration for this playful fire screen; each feather is beautifully worked in iron to depict the bird’s generous plumage. 

The piece is in good vintage condition, featuring fragments of pigment.

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.
