Amazing design

combined with the highest quality raw materials and craftsmanship is synonymous

with the Florence Art brand.

Tradition

In the streets of Florence, one can breathe art, from S. Croce to Ponte Vecchio, and then again among the sculptures

and paintings and furnishings of the Medici villas, a unique city, a territory where artists, as well as

craftsmen, have found their lifeblood for centuries. The Florence Art brand was born in 1950

from this tradition, the manual skills of Tuscan workers, from a love of art and beauty, from a passion for

classics and what made this territory great. It was born as a sculptural workshop and has always been a production brand, exploring new products, designing them, creating samples, sculpting them

entirely by hand, pantographing them, and preparing them for decoration. The entire production is carried out entirely in

Florentine style, each piece is designed by one of our designers, and is

unique.

Design

Florence Art, with its in-house designers, sculptors, and carpenters, is capable of executing any

type of work, even not in Florentine style, as evidenced by some works done for luxury hotels.

On each item, Florence Art can make any modification and customisation, as well as

work for modification by the carpenter entirely by hand. In this way, the brand can furnish a bedroom, living room, bathroom, boiserie, according to your design.

Style

The Florentine style is identified by the way carving, finishing, and design

of articles are executed, and these features are typical only of the very small area that is Florence. Each item

made in Florentine style has carved parts but with a current, fresh, elegant taste; each

part is well "notched"; that is, they are well-defined, which harmonises with a classic yet

very youthful taste. The lines of the items are both elegant and romantic. Silver and

coloured and gold finishes make each line even more elegant and youthful.

Pattern and Sculpture

Sculpture is the result of an increasingly difficult-to-preserve legacy of Florentine traditions, distinguished by

grace, harmony, and is an element of enhancement and identification of the entire production line, and as is the case

in Florence, it cannot be mistaken for other geographical areas. Professional figures are needed

with great skills and design abilities and stylistic knowledge, such as the "sculptor," who

must create "models" of each item and then carve them.

The model is the part used to recreate the sculpture with a pantograph, and to first execute it, a scale drawing of the article is needed, then it is entirely hand-carved in wood. It is cut into pieces,

because the Pantograph works on pieces no wider than about 20 cm and about 190 cm in length. To work with

the pantograph, a "Pantographer" is needed, who will replicate the model in 16 or 24 pieces, and then "carpenters,"

but specialised ones, because they must know how to assemble the carved elements. Only these three professionals

make the production already more qualified and of greater value.

Decoration

Decoration, always entirely manual, becomes an even more qualifying element in various

finishes, those made in Florence are incomparable to those from any other geographical area:

The "gouache" decoration used throughout art history, from the Renaissance, which was born in Florence, and in

all other stylistic periods, concerns both gold leaf (e.g., Zecchino and Antique patina),

and Real Silver leaf finishes (Ghiaccio, Bianco, Consumato, Strappato), which could then

be Meccata (covered with a special, ancient colour, still used, Mecca, in

finishes, Mecca and MeccaAntica), to look like gold when in the past they did not have the money to

purchase real gold.
