Salvino Marsura Tralci coat hooks

The minimal Tralci coat hooks by Salvino Marsura are formed by slender lengths of forged iron. A series of slim branches are superimposed to create an open, layered structure. They are tipped with small rounded ‘grapes’ that function as hooks within the composition.

The pair is in good condition, with wear and patination consistent with their 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.
