The Maselli workshop of ancient prints and frames was founded in 1955 in Florence. In 1978, Paolo’s son, Gabriele Maselli, took over the management of the firm, specialising in gilding and restoration of artistic frames.
Starting from a drawing, a picture, or a model to replicate, he creates a unique, broadly customisable product – from the kind of wood to the processing techniques, from the carving style to finishing operations. Also, the workshop performs restoration of frames and wooden objects from any age and type and has become a landmark for private clients, public bodies and museums.
In addition to running the workshop, Gabriele Maselli is actively engaged in Confartigianato Toscana, also cooperating as a teacher with Scuola d’Arte Sacra di Firenze, which he contributed to set up.

Since 1955, in Florence, within walking distance from San Lorenzo Market, there is a historical shop and atelier: the frame workshop of master Gabriele Maselli. His passion for crafts stems from his father Paolo, who, by the end of the 1970s, encouraged him to study at the “Istituto per l’Arte e il Restauro - Palazzo Spinelli”, where Gabriele majored in gilding, after many years of work experience in the atelier of his family, in the same field. Nowadays his business is in the list of the historical and traditional Florentine trades, while he is committed to handing down this craft to his son Tommaso, who is still attending school but has already a big interest and passion for carving. Bottega Maselli represents the perfect example of a contemporary family workshop: impeccable quality, great customer care and constantly updated communication.
