Marsura Salvino Forged Iron Headboard, Italy, 1970s

About the Item

Salvino Marsura was born in Treviso in 1938 and learnt his craft in the dynamic workshop of sculptor Toni Benetton. His 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. The results can be beautifully abstract, geometric, or sensitively responsive to observation of natural forms. On this graceful and highly original headboard, eight dandelion seedhead forms stand upwards like balloons on strings. The polished metal adds a depth of patina and reflectivity.
