Pair of Salvino Marsura floor lamps

Produced by Salvino Marsura in the 1970s, this pair of metal floor lamps marry an almost Art Nouveau sensuality of form with experimental metalwork techniques. Bulbs emerge from a sinuous stem that rises from a puddle-like base, twisting to sheath a final bulb in metal ‘petals’. The surface of the metal is beautifully patinated and carries an engraved signature by the artist. 

Recently rewired and PAT tested to UK standards.

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.
