Salvino Marsura Strelitzia floor lamps

Produced by Salvino Marsura in the 2000s, this pair of delicate metal floor lamps exhibit an Art Nouveau sensibility with their botanic motif. Fresh leaves emerge from a curved stem that rises from a lily pad-like base. 

The surface of the metal features patination true to its age; the veneer on one of the lamp bases is slightly chipped off. Both lamps have been 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.
