AAV BARBINI srl is a creative laboratory, founded in Murano in 1927 by Nicolò Barbini, specialized in the art of glass engraving and in the production of ancient and modern Venetian mirrors, as well as in the restoration of ancient mirrors.

Nicolò himself passes down his artistic sensitivity and great professional experience to his sons Vincenzo and Giovanni, helping them to understand and learn the secrets of the trade and the different manufacturing techniques to perfection.

Currently the company, which boasts a glorious family tradition in the field of glass, dating back to the 17th century, makes use of the work of three generations of expert craftsmen at the top of this exclusive technique, acquired through great passion and profound historical knowledge and a great professional experience.

All processing phases (the design, cutting, grinding, engraving, silver plating and assembly) are carried out exclusively in Murano and personally supervised by the brothers Vincenzo and Giovanni Barbini and their respective sons, Nicola, Marco, Giovanna, Andrea, Pietro and Filippo, capable of continuously reinterpreting an invaluable heritage of techniques and secrets.

To date, the mirrors of the Barbini family can be found all over the world, from India to the royal palace of Thailand, in Japan, where in the seventies they had enormous popularity and were used to decorate the walls of the most exclusive palaces, in the United States , in Russia, in China, in France, in Germany, in Iran, in Morocco and among the sheikhs of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, as well as in the major local showrooms.

Furthermore, the Barbinis have always offered their experience and professionalism to architects, designers and artists, bringing ideas and projects to life.

Starting from 2018, the Barbini family company is registered with the “Promovetro” Consortium, an institution that promotes and spreads the culture of Murano glass throughout the world and, consequently, benefits from the “Murano brand”, the only official recognized brand by the Veneto Region which guarantees the authenticity of glass “made in Murano”.
