Design & Decorative Arts

Since 2025, the Department of Design & Decorative Arts has distinguished itself by organising two auctions per term, specifically dedicated to the great masters of 20th-century Italian design and the leading names in Murano glassware, as well as national and international decorative arts productions, which constitute the historical and artistic heritage of 20th-century antiques.

The Design Heritage auction selects a limited number of high-quality works of international standing; the Easy Design auction introduces a young and curious audience to the world of collecting, whilst remaining attuned to the needs of a constantly evolving market.

The aim is to make each catalogue a narrative, balanced and well-rounded in its offerings, geared towards collecting and the promotion of the works through collaboration with archives and foundations, as well as detailed and in-depth technical descriptions that fully convey the historical and artistic significance of each piece. The catalogues also include dedicated sections that allow for the presentation of entire collections and groups of works from historic projects by architects and designers.

The Department is always available to appraise works and collections free of charge, offering clients the opportunity to place them in the most suitable and prestigious context, with the utmost confidentiality.

Thanks to the quality of its offering and a wide-reaching and effective communication strategy – which also encompasses the digital world and dedicated online platforms – the Department caters to an international clientele, building a network of enthusiasts, collectors and industry professionals.
