Classic Italian Furniture

Craftsmanship

The wood is sculpted and carved using both modern tools like pantographs and traditional tools such as gouges and chisels. This is followed by the decoration and finishing of the furniture, highlighting the company's mission to harmoniously blend traditional techniques with innovative methods. Key techniques include silvering and gilding, with manual application of gold and silver leaf. Additionally, Venetian and Florentine decorations are used to replicate designs from the 14th-century Florentine style or 18th-century Venetian style, employing both old-fashioned products like animal glues, gypsum, shellac, and hot stamps, as well as modern technologies like water-based paints or mechanical tools like airbrushes. The company is also well-known for its skilled use and remains the sole practitioner of the ancient Florentine "Guazzo" technique.

Our Classic Italian Furniture and Their Creation:

The company was founded in 1973 by carver and decorator Andrea Fanfani, who, after learning techniques and gaining knowledge from renowned Florentine artisan workshops, decided to start his own production, blending classic and innovative styles. Over the years, Andrea was joined by his two sons, Marco and Roberto, and the company is now recognized globally as one of the leading Italian brands in classic furniture.

The company operates in two facilities totaling approximately 3,000 square meters in Ginestra Fiorentina, the founder's hometown, about 10 km from Florence. It employs a highly skilled yet young and updated workforce, supplemented by external collaborations, to quickly meet the demands of its discerning clients. With over 400 standard production items available in various finishes and further customizable, and a wide range of fabrics and leathers, Andrea Fanfani Srl crafts pieces for entire villas, from living areas to bedrooms, or unique items rich in tradition and charm that endure over time.
