The Valese Foundry was established in the historic center of Venice in 1913. It uses the traditional method of sand casting to produce beautifully crafted items: from the ornaments used to decorate gondolas to the lampposts used to illuminate the Grand Canal; from reproductions of famous monuments to moulds used for glassmaking. The Valese Foundry also produces 'tailor-made' objects and reproductions of complex items such as chandeliers and antique fittings. The excellent quality of its products has attracted prestigious clients including the Hotel Gritti in Venice and the Fox Theater in Atlanta as well artists such as Jean Arp.

All the products in this site can be purchased at our showroom near St Mark's Square or online. Please send an email to info@valese.it with your postal address and the code number and quantity of the item(s) you require and we will provide you with pricing, availability and shipping details.

From 13th November to 9th January 2011 the Valese Foundry is participating in the Il Gesto Che Sorprende event at the Scuola Grande di San Teodoro, Venice. Click here for Google Map.
