Salvino Marsura Pera mirror

The Pera mirror takes its pear-shaped outline as the starting point for a compact wall piece, finished in a romantic blue patina. Small iron lilies sit within the gentle indentations of the mirror, adding a soft ornamental feel to the piece. 

The piece is in good condition, with 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.
