Salvino Marsura Bivio door handle

The Bivio door handle distils Salvino Marsura’s sculptural language into a functional object. Forged in iron, its form divides into two branching arms that return to meet the door, echoing the meaning of its Italian title — crossroads.

The piece is in good condition, with patination true to its age. A matching, mirrored handle is available.

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.
