Salvino Marsura Tronchi hook stand

Shoots of growth, like branches, move in unrestrained, asymmetric ways across this sculptural coat rack. Growing upward across the wall, the piece is completed with buds that coil and tendril, becoming hooks. 

The piece is in good condition, featuring 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.
