Salvino Marsura Forme I Wall Sconce, Treviso, Italy, 1990s

$3,320
Description

Mimicking anarchic patterns found in nature, the tendrils of this wall sconce twist and intertwine, with leaf-like forms topping and tailing the ends.


The piece is in good condition, with patination true to its age. It has been recently rewired and PAT tested to UK standards.


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 comes from the concrete finish used in modernist architecture. It is rational yet organic, just like the collection.
