Salvino Marsura Fili mirror

The Fili mirror is framed by fine, overlapping iron filaments finished in a cerulean blue. Where the lines intersect, they form an almond-shaped opening that holds the mirror, creating a layered arrangement that gives the piece an airiness despite its material weight.

The piece is in good condition, with 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.
