Salvino Marsura Alari Caminetto (fire andirons)

In a departure from Marsura’s more tactile and textured take on the andirons, this pair features two perfect circles as symmetrical decorative elements.

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.
