Salvino Marsura Volute II console

Produced by Salvino Marsura in the 1980s, this console’s supple, gently curving and textured supports nod to the metalworker’s Art Nouveau sensibility. They underpin a shelf that is embellished with subtle hammer marks.  

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.
