About the Item

Exceptional Neoclassical style hand-carved mirror. The lacquering in antique ivory and antique gold was done by hand, the whole mirror has been decorated in order to make an antique effect. The beautiful proportions make it a piece of furniture of absolute elegance, perfect to be inserted in a house with a classic taste but also, with a touch of audacity, in a home with a modern design. Splendid example of the highest quality of execution by the best Italian cabinetmakers. There are now very few craftsmen in the world capable of performing works of this quality. Casa d’Arte Paoletti is a beautiful story of high Florentine craftsmanship and entrepreneurship. It was founded in Florence in 1860 by Carlo Paoletti highly recognized for his restoration skills. Carlo’s son , Adolfo,was a brilliant entrepreneur realizing the potential of the US market , where his reproductions of Florentine Renaissance-style furniture met with a great success. Together with his son Giovanni, he established the headquarters of the company in the family’s historic building,in the heart of Florence’s artisan district. In the workshop, where many young workers learned the art of the handmade carving and decoration , the use of the traditional techniques went on creating reproductions of classic-style furniture, in both hand-carved wood and hand-forged iron. The company involved many other artisans of that area to meet the fast-growing foreign demand. Very prosperous years followed, the golden Fifties , during which the company even signed a contract with Cinecittà to manufacture the furniture used for the sets of all MGM – produced films. In the years that followed,the company went on relying on traditional artisan know-how and hand-crafting skills,which were handed down from father to son. Owing to the foresight of Giancarlo Paoletti the founder’s great-grandson,the company enjoyed a huge growth in the European luxury markets and jumped into the high-end hotel business. In more recent years, Casa d’Arte Paoletti has expanded into new emerging markets, such as the Middle East and Russia,by specialising in custom-made furniture,but without ever losing its focus on high product quality. Currently, with the same passsion, Giancarlo’s son and daughters, the fifth-generation family members, produce fine artefacts, large mirrors, elegant tables, chairs, sideboards, chandeliers and many other products, by using only the best local artisan techniques and blending proud tradition with contemporary needs. We are proud to have worked with the Paoletti family for three generations, since our foundation.
