Salvino Marsura Volute coat hook

The delicately shaped ivory coat hook carries entrancing floral motifs – with iron tendrils and buds reaching out towards the sun. 

The piece, which is signed by Marsura, is in good condition with patination consistent with age. It features openings for secure nail mounting and retains much of the original paintwork. 

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.
