THE BOTTEGA, FIRENZE

“The longer that I live in Italy, the more I am convinced that the most beautiful things have already been created, it is simply a question of finding them”


Bec Astley Clarke MBE

The Bottega, Firenze is our small by appointment gallery showcasing some of my favourite pieces from the collection. 


For those of you new to The Italian Collector, our purpose is simple, to discover beautiful vintage and antique Italian objects that inspire and delight, and to find them a home. We journey across Italy in search of exquisitely designed and crafted vintage and antique pieces with extraordinary provenance. 


Each object that we find has a design history and a life story that calls to mind the beautiful past that made it. Our clients are connoisseurs, designers and collectors who fill their homes with Italian design and hundreds of years worth of culture, history and stories. 

It is my belief that real beauty emerges with the passage of time.
