Set of 6 Hand-Forged Iron Dining Chairs by Salvino Marsura, Italy 1970s
These 1970s Italian dining chairs were handcrafted by the celebrated artist Salvino Marsura, showcasing his distinctive approach to wrought iron design. The hand-forged wrought iron frames are marked by an interplay of bold geometric lines and subtly curved forms. The chairs' backs feature an abstract, almost whimsical design that draws the eye, adding a sense of lightness to the otherwise sturdy structure.
The seats are upholstered in springbok antelope hide, characterized by a short, dense, and soft fur with a distinctive coloration. The hide features a mix of light brown, tan, and white colors, with some areas having a darker, almost speckled appearance. Antelope hide is commonly used in luxury upholstery and decor due to its unique aesthetic and soft texture.
These chairs are not merely functional pieces but sculptural expressions of Marsura's artistry, reflecting his mastery in transforming metal into objects of enduring beauty and character. Signed by artist. Sourced in Italy, 1970s.
Salvino Marsura, born in Treviso in 1938, is an esteemed Italian artist whose career blossomed in the 1950s. Renowned for his mastery in crafting both intimate sculptures and grand-scale creations, he also extends his artistry to furniture and architectural elements. Rooted in the venerable tradition of blacksmithing, Marsura meticulously handcrafts each piece using the forge, anvil, and hammer. His work is distinguished by the powerful union of strength and imagination, imbuing every creation with a distinctive character and profound soul.
We have a second set of 6 chairs also available here.
