Buccellati opens a new corner at Galeries Lafayette, Paris | Carlomaria Grassi

we have to be very proud of our trademarks ... they are part of us and
our story. In the Beginning
of his career, Italian Goldsmith Mario Buccellati (1891-1965) carried on a
family tradition dating back from the early 18^th Century. In 1919 he opened his shop
near the La Scala Opera House in Milan, and was the first among Italian Goldsmiths
to to open a shop on Fifth Ave in New York and later in Palm Beach. As his
popularity gained, his clientele came to include the Vatican and the Royal
Courts of Europe, leading to his nickname, “The Prince of Goldsmiths.” Mario
Buccellati drew upon the work of the Renaissance and Eighteen Century craftsman
for design. Mario’s son, Gianmaria Buccellati, became apprenticed to his father
at the age of 14. Following his father’s death in 1965, he expanded the
business and opened new shops around the world. The rest is actuality ... We
wish the best to this great family of jewellers and entrepreneurs        Buccellati opens a new corner at Galeries Lafayette, Paris | TheTopTier – The Best in Luxury and Affluence
