The Artisans of Florence |
|
|---|---|
Since the Renaissance
Florence
has been Famous for Fine Crafts
|
|
|
When
you
think of Florentine handcrafts what comes to mind? Leather goods
painstakingly stitched and finished by hand? The famous Tuscan
ceramics? Handbound books and colorfully embossed stationary?
Luxurious gilt frames produced with tools and techniques
unchanged for centuries? Magnificent tables of inlaid stone
mosaic?
If you are seeking authentic examples of these signature products then join us as we lead you far beyond the crowded souvenir stands of the central market to the small shops on narrow streets where the true masters continue to produce the finest examples of old world craftmanship. |

Not Just Shops, But
Workshops

How can
you tell if something in a crowded store is actually the authentic
Italian product you seek? Wouldn't you rather visit the workshops where
skilled artisans ply their trade? Or to see every stage in the
production of a bronze plaque or inlaid stone table? Our goal is
to help you buy directly from the artisans and master craftsmen in
their workshops in the old quarters of the city. Unlike so-called
'art tours' we can help you find exactly what you are looking
for. With our extensive network of contacts including artisans of
every type throughout the city you'll be sure to have several options
to choose from, no matter what it is you're looking for.
