Salvino Marsura Albero di Londra coatstand

Salvino Marsura’s Albero di Londra coatstand reads like a line drawing in space. Branch-like supports extend upwards in loose curves, with hooks emerging naturally from the frame. Despite its generous scale, the piece is imbued with a certain lightness, leaning effortlessly.

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