This luxurious and exclusive bedding suite has recently been commissioned for Piana Clerico 1582 after a design by Federico Buccellati. The Buccellatti name has been synonymous with fine craftsmanship since the late 18th century although it was not until the works of Mario Buccellatti in his Milanese workshop in 1919 that the firm became world famous. Federico Buccellatti's creations in silver, gold and fine jewels have since attracted the attention of global royalty and nobility as well as an elite clientele. Accompanied with these sheets is certification that they contain no less than 40% 24ct gold (approximately 1650 grams), combined with the finished silk yarns.
