Florence has long produced some of the world's greatest artists. And for centuries, Florentine furniture makers have been inspired by their art, refining their own designs and finishes using the same simple tools — brushes, chisels, rasps and hands.

That time-honored tradition of Italian artistry lives on today in Ballard Designs' Casa Florentina, a select line of timeless furniture and accessories custom made in Italy exclusively for you.

Each piece is meticulously hand finished using age-old techniques and brought to life by master artisans in your choice of finishes inspired by the natural colors and textures of Tuscany.

In creating Casa Florentina, every detail was considered. Finishing nails are recessed to ensure an even hand. Drawer glides are coated in beeswax for a smooth, effortless action. Hardware is chosen as carefully as jewelry. And every drawer comes lined in a sheet of Florentine style marbleized paper.

You can't find Italian-made furniture and accessories in these finishes anywhere else. And when you consider that every piece is custom made to order, Casa Florentina represents exceptional value. So exceptional, that each piece is distinguished with a plaque engraved with the name of the person who inspired it — you.

Lorenzo Nardin describes Ballard Design's Casa Florentina collection. Choose from 18 hand applied finishes on any piece you purchase. Custom name plate with your name attached to every piece.
