BARIZANO sterling frames are hand crafted by skilled Italian silversmiths in a village East of Florence, producing the entire frame including cutting the wood and silver to size and stamping the pattern into the silver using stainless steel tooling. There are no imported parts and are made using superior grade . 925 sterling silver and genuine wood finished with a beautiful cherry mahogany and high gloss lacquer. BARIZANO frames never need polishing as the silver is treated with a tarnish proof finish.
