An old tradition
The tradition of flower ornaments is thousands of years old. It is a clear presence that weaves its thread from the Ancient Egyptian civilization, passes through the Greco-Roman culture, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, the Neo-Classical and Romantic centuries and modernism to reach us today in the beginning of the 21st Century.
A Solid Foundation
Characterized by ideal proportions in form and shape and by graceful lines and volumes, the flower ornament has been studied, admired, followed and elaborated by generations of stonemasons, sculptors, artists and designers. While its aesthetic may have changed throughout the centuries, the basic principles behind its design are still the same.
Develop Your Insight
