Salvino Marsura Alari Caminetto (fire andirons)

More brutalist in shape, these andirons have no front legs but feature a triangular base that elongates to the tip, which is crowned with a rounded shape. 

The andirons are in good vintage condition, with 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.
