Salvino Marsura Decoro overmantel mirror

This delicate overmantel mirror features rounded top corners and an undulating white-painted iron frame. At each upper corner, a small iron rose sits between fine decorative filaments, adding a daintiness to the otherwise substantial mirror. 

The piece is in good condition, with patination and surface wear consistent with 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.
