About the Item

Lines of iron lattice to form a geometric frame around the Forged Mirror I. Within this grid, shapes and motifs gather: a flower, chains, triangles and circles, making it one of Marsura’s more playful and experimental works. This piece is in good condition, featuring coloured powered pigments with some patination reflective of its age. A new mirror has been fitted, treated with foxing by an artisan. 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.
