The Art of the Table: Buccellati Arrives at Tanagra

In a region where hospitality is both ritual and language, the table has always been a stage. With the arrival of Buccellati silverware at Tanagra, that stage acquires a new luminosity.

Founded in Milan in 1919, Buccellati has long translated the codes of high jewellery into the realm of silver. Lace-like engravings, hand-chiselled surfaces, and softly undulating forms transform functional objects into heirlooms. Each tray, bowl, or centrepiece carries the imprint of the Italian bottega — a continuity of gesture passed from master to apprentice, where embossing and chasing are not decorative afterthoughts but structural expressions of craft.

At Tanagra, the Middle East’s authority on refined gifting and homeware, these creations find a natural context. The retailer’s curatorial eye — shaped by over four decades of celebrating the art of hospitality — aligns seamlessly with Buccellati’s vision of L’Art de la Table as a cultural practice rather than a fleeting trend. Together, they propose a return to material integrity: silver that catches candlelight, reflects conversation, and acquires patina with time.

The collections draw on nature and history — leaves that seem lifted from a Renaissance sketchbook, marine motifs rendered with sculptural precision, surfaces textured like fine fabric. Yet their presence is resolutely contemporary. In a minimalist interior, a Buccellati bowl becomes a focal point; on a festive table, it anchors the choreography of glass, porcelain, and linen.

Now available across Tanagra boutiques in the UAE and online, Buccellati’s silverware extends beyond acquisition. It invites a slower form of living — one where setting the table is not routine, but reverence.
