About the Item
Elegance, strength, and lightness intertwine in the design of this wrought-iron double bed, created in the 1960s by sculptor and designer Salvino Marsura. The structure reveals a delicate balance between linearity and ornamental gesture: the rectilinear base remains sober and functional, while the headboard rises as a true sculptural relief, animated by twisting branches, leaves, and roses in wrought iron, unfolding in a fluid and organic composition.
The visual effect is that of a living composition, suspended between ornament and natural abstraction, capable of engaging with light and shadow through the tridimensionality of the ironwork and the subtle variations in the metal’s surface. The slender curves and spiraling scrolls create dynamic contrasts of solids and voids, enhancing the plasticity of the composition. The finish bears traces of use consistent with its age, yet it preserves an authentic character and a charm poised between art and craftsmanship.
Born in Treviso in 1938, Salvino Marsura developed a prolific career spanning more than six decades, focusing on wrought-iron works, furniture, and sculpture. Trained within the tradition of hand-forging, he worked with essential tools such as hammer, anvil, and fire, imbuing metal with a poetic quality. His creations are admired for the way they infuse material with vitality and tension, while preserving the visible marks of artisanal labor.
This piece stands as a clear testament to the dialogue between function and sculpture that defines Marsura’s work: a bed that is not merely a support for rest, but also a decorative presence and a symbol of handmade artistry.
