Salvino Marsura Cavallo Dining Table, Treviso, Italy, 2000s

$11,940
Description

Named after the Italian word for horse, the Cavallo dining table evokes strength, poise, and movement. Writhing forms and fragments of iron are held in a compositional balance, with a circular glass tabletop completing the piece.


The table base is in good condition, with 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.

Béton Brut

Béton Brut presents rare, design-led furniture from Europe and Japan. The collection, drawn from over a century of design, coheres around functional art & sculptural forms. Béton Brut comes from the concrete finish used in modernist architecture. It is rational yet organic, just like the collection.
