Oval decorative mirror from Florence

Fascinating design combined with the highest quality raw materials and craftsmanship give the synonym of Florence Art manufactory.

Tradition

Among the streets of Florence, you can breathe art, from S. Croce to Ponte Vecchio, and then again among sculptures, paintings, and furnishings of the Medici villas, an exceptional city, a territory where artists and artisans have found their life force for centuries. The Florence Art brand was born in 1950 from this tradition, the manual skills of Tuscan craftsmen, love for art and beauty, passion for classics and what made this territory great. It was established as a sculptural manufactory and has always been a production brand that researches new products, designs them, creates samples, and sculpts them entirely by hand, pantographs them, and prepares them for decoration. All production is carried out entirely in Florentine style; each element is designed by one of our designers and is unique.

Design

With its internal designers, sculptors, and carpenters, Florence Art can execute any type of work, even outside the Florentine style, as evidenced by some projects made for luxury hotels. On every Florence Art item, modifications and adjustments can be made, including work by carpenters entirely by hand. In this way, the brand can furnish a bedroom, living room, bathroom, or boudoir according to your design.

Style

The Florentine style is identified by the way sculptures, finishes, and designs are executed, and these features are unique to a very small area, such as Florence. Every item made in the Florentine style has carved parts, but with a current, fresh, and elegant taste; each part is well “toothed,” meaning well-defined, harmonizing with a classic yet very youthful style. The lines of the items are simultaneously elegant and romantic. Silver, colored, and gold finishes make each line even more elegant and youthful.

Pattern and Sculpture

Sculpture results from the increasingly difficult-to-preserve legacy of Florentine traditions, distinguished by grace and harmony, and is a key element in highlighting and identifying the entire production line. As is the case in Florence, it cannot be confused with other geographical areas. Professional figures with great skills, design ability, and stylistic knowledge are required, such as a “sculptor,” who must create “models” of each item and then sculpt them.

A model is the part used to reproduce the sculpture with a pantograph; to create it first, an illustration of the item in scale is needed, then it is entirely hand-carved in wood. It is cut into pieces because the pantograph works on segments no wider than about 20 cm and about 190 cm long. For pantograph work, a “pantograph” is needed to replicate the model in 16 or 24 pieces, followed by “carpenters,” but highly specialized, as they must know how to assemble the carved elements. Only these three professionals ensure that the production is more skilled and valuable.

Decoration

Decoration, always entirely handmade, becomes an even more qualified element in various finishes; those made in Florence are incomparable with those from any other geographical area:
