This ceiling fixture captivates with its natural elements, featuring oak leaves and ferns incorporated into the design. The gilding has developed a beautiful patina over the years, adding even more charm. The result is an exceptional decorative and functional piece, perfect for any interior.

Banci Firenze takes its name from its founder, Giuseppe Banci, who first opened the company in 1899, initially as a shop and later expanding with a workshop dedicated to restoring chandeliers and mirrors. They soon became renowned as highly skilled craftsmen, working in traditional ways and using the same materials as in the past. The district in which Banci was located had, since medieval times, been known as a guild of artists and artisans, famous worldwide for its master blacksmiths. Thanks to this guild, the city of Florence grew into an economic and artistic powerhouse, attracting notable artists and craftsmen.

Inspired by the city’s history and by the knowledge gathered through years of restoration work, Giuseppe Banci began producing the first “Banci” chandeliers in the 1930s together with his two children, Gastone and Ghita. Although Gastone passed away young, the craft did not end there—Ghita continued running the business, and later Gastone’s three children also joined. It was this generation that elevated the Banci name to a new level, expanding into international markets and creating new lighting models. This led to new collections and unique pieces, developed in a flourishing symbiotic relationship between one-of-a-kind creations and small-series production.

Today, Jacopo Banci works alongside his father, Massimo Banci, making Banci a company that has maintained the cultural heritage and artisanal pride of Florence for over 100 years and across four generations.
