Florea Collection
The Baroque wonder
Discover the collection
Florea Collection is made of unique pieces capable of evoking the famous wonder typical of the Baroque poetry. The volutes, the sinuos patterns and the complex Baroque motives are the source of inspiration for this sinuous and rich line.
The ornamental themes of Sixteenth Century architecture amplified by mirrored glass and light reflections constitute both decoration and essence. Florea handmade design shows an accurate harmony of shapes and lines multiplied almost indefinitely.
Every Florea Collection item has an evocative flower's name in order to better describe the beautiful decorations characterizing the line.

What are the main guidelines of this era? Either ones aim to be a king or ones aim to go against the grain magnificence is the key.

As a consequence, in the mirrors the engraved decorative element tends to be more geometrical and less figurative. With Florea collection engravings become more modern: masters use their skills to create different kind of etched spheres.
