About the Item

These Sgabelli (bar stools) present a lively elongated silhouette. Their slender zoomorphic legs rise into curled backrests, echoing tendrils caught mid-movement. Subtle variations in proportion and gesture reveal Marsura’s hand. The pair is light in appearance yet structurally confident. Both works are in good condition with patination appropriate to 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 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. SM252a: H106 L40 D52cm SM252b: H103 L32 D48cm
