Salvino Marsura Bivio II door handle

The Bivio II door handle explores the same branching motif. Hand-forged in iron, the central stem divides into two arms that reconnect with the door, recalling the crossroads referenced in its title.

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.
