From Florentine glass and crystal stemware, to elegant linens for table and bath, Essentials for Entertaining offers Tuscan home accessories that combine the timeless elegance of Italian decor with a fresh modern twist

Tuscany is an ancient and blessed region nestled in the center of Italy. For centuries this region has witnessed the flourishing of great civilizations, each with their own distinctive styles for decorating the home. Today, museums and boutiques are filled with Tuscan home accessories, from the bronze figurines of the ancient Etruscan civilization to the modern furnishings of the most contemporary Italian designers.

All of our products—sumptuous bath towels, modern cheese boards, gracious linens, exceptional placemats, rare horn knives, unique dinnerware, and more—share a particular care for the quality of the materials used and the stylish but simple elegance in their design. Our mission is to explore all of the regions of Italy to bring you elegant and rare products in the best tradition of fine Tuscan accessories for the home.
