Salvino Marsura Forged mirror IX

Textural ridges of iron forming irregular curves and waves mark the Forged mirror IX by Salvino Marsura, completed by a modest hook. 

The iron frame features patination true to its age, and a new mirror has been fitted, treated with foxing by an artisan.  

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.
