Agresti Trianon Armored Writing Desk

Luxury furniture brand Agresti has been known for its exquisite range of jewelry boxes, storage cabinets, safes and other case pieces since the postwar years. The Italian company is recognized internationally for its commitment to unparalleled craftsmanship in every piece that is produced in its factory in Florence.

Osvaldo and Pia Agresti established their company in 1949, when skilled craftspeople in the historic capital of Tuscany created modern case goods by hand for the fledgling brand. Today, Agresti is recognized for elegant but sturdy strongboxes equipped with complex and multiple key and tumbler locks and sophisticated biometric opening devices. Agresti watch boxes feature bulletproof glass fronts, leather pouches and innovative Swiss mechanisms that wind timepieces when not in use, while their game sets, crafted in red briar and polished ebony, are guaranteed to dazzle even the most seasoned chess champions. 

Agresti furnishings are made of the world’s finest materials, including a range of leathers, mahogany, bird’s eye maple, brass and a rare metal called ruthenium. The elaborate interiors of the brand’s armoires and commodes — some of which feature brass-plated 24-karat gold hardware and high-level steel — frequently prove mind-boggling, offering an array of drawers and pull-out necklace bars. All cigar humidors have a removable tray, hygrometers and cedar lining, while some of Agresti’s luxury bar cabinets feature maple interiors and roomy compartments for glasses and bottles.
