Renaissance chest of drawers from Florence

Enchanting designs combined with the highest quality materials and craftsmanship give the essence of the Florence Art brand.

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. Florence Art was born in 1950 from this tradition, the manual skills of Tuscan craftsmen, a love for art and beauty, and a passion for classicism and what made this territory great. It originated as a sculpture workshop and has always been a manufacturing 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 the 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 produce 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. This way, the brand can furnish a bedroom, living room, bathroom, or boudoir according to your design.

Style

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

Pattern and Sculpture

Sculpture is the result of the increasingly challenging Florentine heritage, distinguished by grace and harmony, and it is a key element that highlights and identifies the entire production line. As in Florence, it cannot be confused with other regions. Professional figures with great skills 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, an article drawing at scale is needed, then it is entirely hand-sculpted in wood. It is cut into pieces because the pantograph works on segments no wider than about 20 cm and about 190 cm long. Working with the pantograph requires a “pantograph” device that copies the model into 16 or 24 pieces, followed by highly specialized “carpenters” who 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 skilled element in various finishes. Those made in Florence are incomparable to those from any other region:
