Salvino Marsura Forged mirror V

Curves of organic forms, like dandelion seeds, circle asymmetrically across this highly textured and tactile wrought iron mirror, featuring colour powdered pigments. 

The iron mirror 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.
