About the Item

Tracing the gentle arc of a vine in bloom, the Glicine chair embodies Marsura’s instinct for forging with both rhythm and restraint. Its wrought frame rises in looping gestures, echoing tendrils reaching toward light, while the seat rests with quiet poise. A study in balance between structure and ornament, it conveys a living grace held in metal. The piece is in good condition, with some patination true to its age. The seat will be restored and reupholstered in the coming weeks (note: price includes new upholstery). 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. H115 W46 D43cm
