Rare Handcrafted Iron and Glass Brutalist Console by Salvino Marsura, Italy 1970

Description
This one of a kind iron and glass Brutalist style console table is a work of art. Handcrafted in Italy by Salvino Marsura (Born 1938 in Treviso. Veneto) in raw iron, this piece is an organic masterpiece. The twisted black iron resembles the twisted branches of a tree (perhaps even a grape vine as this piece was handmade in the heart of Tuscany in Firenze). Then, dramatically juxtaposed in the center of this raw and twisted metal sculpture, lies a large solid and unpolished clear Murano glass rock called a "Cotizzo" adding dramatic contrast between the two elements. The piece is finished with a rounded edged glass top which is simply placed on top of the iron structure and can be replaced by a large glass top if preferred.

This piece of art was purposefully created by the artist to have imperfections in its finish to accentuate the organic nature of the piece and juxtapose it against the brilliant nature of the Murano glass stone in its center.
