About the Item

A set of two candleholders are defined by its rhythmic, fluid line work, in imitation of seafoam’s sinuous motions on the shore. Two candleholders are available. One of the two pieces is signed. Both are in good condition with patination reflective of their 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 and traditional decorative arts.
