Salvino Marsura Pannello Divisorio (dividing panel)

Bending, curling lines of iron lattice skein together in this room divider. A fluid, evocative piece, the Pannello Divisorio is as much about the negative shapes cast within its frame as it is about its wrought surfaces.

The room divider rests on two legs. It is in good condition, with some patination true to its age. 

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.
