About the Item

The Cuore armchair is defined by two sinuous vines that curve into a heart-shaped backrest. Its recently reupholstered velvet seat lends a complementary softness to the tender iron frame. The piece is in good condition, featuring 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, naturalism and traditional decorative arts.
