Decorative antlers

Petri Firenze offers exciting items that blend the beauty of nature with the craftsmanship skills to highlight every detail, using both new and ancient techniques. These are luxury collections created in the Petri workshop in San Casciano Val di Pesa, on the hillside of Florence. Here, in the heart of the Chianti region, where art, nature, history, and technique have always coexisted and intertwined, Simone Petri founded a brand capable of creating true objects of wonder.

Elegant shells, fossils, gemstones, crystals, corals, noble woods, and animal horns meet precious metals to become furniture accessories rich in charm and stories to tell. In this way, they transform into something unique, original, timeless, and capable of preserving their allure forever.

The creations of the Petri workshop are inspired by the old "Wunderkammer," cabinets of curiosities that eighteenth-century European travelers created from their memories, so that ordinary exotic and extraordinary objects, treasuries of function and memories, had their place as home decorations. Now, as then, these insights provide the spaces we live in with reminders of all the wonders nature can offer. However, the creations of the Petri workshop surpass the inspiration and charm of the "Wunderkammer," intertwining with contemporary design, material furnishing, and the main elegant touch of modern craftsmanship.

History of Petri Firenze

Dynamic, unique collections, attention to detail, and the ability to create both small and large quantities, respecting the needs and deadlines of the client: these have always been the strengths of the brand. Founded in 1991, it initially specialized in cutlery and silver furniture accessories, thanks to the experience of the owners gained in other Florentine companies in the industry. With this consolidated "know-how," the brand began producing for many major global manufacturers in the silver decoration industry.

However, over time, public tastes and market needs changed, prompting Simone Petri to experiment with new approaches. The collections became more diverse and are now renewed twice a year, while still maintaining a connection with traditional silver work, they have been enriched with extraordinary objects and materials, from gemstones to quartz, from corals to shells, from animal horns to fossils. The Petri brand is capable of managing the entire production cycle: from the design of the object, even using the latest technology, to the realization of prototypes, up to the delivery of the article, finished in every detail.

Thanks to new series, in addition to the Italian market, which was dominant in the early years, exports have been added, which now constitute the "main activity" of the brand with significant commercial opportunities, especially throughout Europe, the United States, and Arab countries. Its participation in major trade fairs, such as Maison et Objet in Paris and Homi in Milan, has also had a significant impact.

Today, in addition to supplying other companies and specialty stores, the Petri artisan company primarily collaborates with architects and interior designers: professionals seeking unique, even custom-made pieces. Small and large works of art that add a touch of magic to the environments in which they are placed.

One thing, however, has not changed: for Simone and his collaborators, creating "objects of wonder" is not just work: it is also fun, passion, and a love for beauty. A way to share the pleasure of their discoveries with the company's clients.
