Marsura Salvino iron mirror

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.

This delicate mirror brings all these qualities to the fore, combining the primary geometric shape of the circle with the sinuous forms of petals and flower stems.

In good vintage condition, metal surface has a lovely patina with blue, green and red notes subtly peaking through. The artist’s signature is engraved on the surface.
