Salvino Marsura Alari Caminetto (fire andirons)

These tall iron fireplace supports are finished with a looped decorative detail, recalling two dandelions in the wind. 

The andirons are in good vintage condition, featuring the artist’s signature and patination true to their 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.
