Nine Italian makers of classical furniture and lighting, chosen from their catalogues for their closeness to your painted, panelled and layered interiors.
Your practice works with the architectural heritage of each building, with classical proportion, antiques and bespoke craftsmanship. From a Regency mansion in Shropshire, a 1650s manor house on Dartmoor and a late Georgian house in the Scottish Borders to the townhouses of Chelsea, Notting Hill and Belgravia, we looked for makers who work in that language: panelled rooms and libraries, marquetry, painted and gilded pieces, crystal and pleated-shade lighting.

Nine ateliers, chosen for you
Out of the 100+ Italian manufacturers in the 101domus network
Panelled rooms, libraries and marquetry
Marquetry and libraries
Annibale Colombo
Lombardy, since 1812. Over sixty fine woods, inlay and marquetry; libraries, chests of drawers, sideboards, desks, beds and sofas, in Classic and Contemporary lines.
Why: A marquetry chest of drawers in a panelled room under a crystal chandelier, as in the catalogue page shown. Hotel references include the Kulm Hotel in St. Moritz and the Hotel Ares Eiffel in Paris.
Classic luxury
Provasi
Lombardy, since 1970. Classic luxury living, dining and bedroom furniture and boiserie, in wood, gold leaf, fabrics and marble.
Why: Its Heritage sofas are shown against wood-panelled walls with a bust, the setting of a library or drawing room in a country house.
18th Century Collection
Francesco Molon
Veneto. Classic and contemporary furniture; the Classic range includes an 18th Century Collection of glazed mahogany breakfront bookcases, sideboards and consoles.
Why: English-style cabinetry, as shown. Hospitality references include the Hotel Savoy in London and the restoration of a 15th-century Gothic palace on the Grand Canal in Venice.
Painted, gilded and upholstered
Painted and gilded
Roberto Giovannini
Tuscany. Classical furniture in hand-carved wood and gold leaf: armchairs, commodes, bedrooms, dining rooms and reissues of historic models.
Why: Cream-painted Directoire armchair, gilt Georgian mirror and a cream commode with a gilt garland: the colours and shapes of the painted pieces in your rooms.
Painted classic
Silvano Grifoni
Tuscany, since 1957. Day and Night collections with upholstered beds, sofas, armchairs, mirrors, consoles and lighting.
Why: Pale painted furniture and silvered mirrors against a deep navy wall, with printed upholstery on the chairs: a layered, colour-led room.
Historic residences
Bellotti Ezio
Lombardy, since 1935. Solid wood and marquetry, furnishing entirely made to measure for villas and historic residences.
Why: A library corner: a leaded-glass bookcase, wood wainscot and a carved armchair in damask. Cromie collection, shown in a historic room.
Drawing rooms, dining and light
Classic luxury
Zanaboni
Lombardy, since 1967. Classic luxury and contemporary lines: upholstery, beds, tables and lighting. References include the Ortea Palace Hotel in Syracuse (a 1920 palazzo), an apartment in Paris and an Art Déco villa in Jeddah.
Why: A panelled drawing room with a glazed display cabinet and crystal table lamps, from the Classic catalogue.
Walnut and gold leaf
Francesco Pasi
Veneto. Classic and contemporary furniture in fine woods, with gold and silver leaf.
Why: An oval walnut dining table with oval-back chairs, a glazed display cabinet and a chandelier: the dining language of a Georgian house, in a richer register.
Empire lighting
G. Moscatelli
Milan, since 1926. Chandeliers, wall lights, lanterns and table lamps in cut crystal, brass and silk, in a Classic and Empire style.
Why: Bouillotte lamps and pleated-shade table lamps for chests and consoles, plus Empire crystal chandeliers.
