Salvino Marsura Composizione bed headboard

Floral and botanical motifs combine with thorny and toothed elements in this headboard’s sparse yet poetic terrain. Brutalist chains thread through the composition, contrasting with the delicate vegetal elements of the piece.

The piece is in good condition and is signed by the artist.

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.
