Salvino Marsura Coda Di Pavone bed headboard

The tail of a peacock was the inspiration for this striking headboard; each feather is beautifully rendered in iron to depict the bird’s intricate plumage. 

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

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.
