Founded in 1895 in the historic and culturally rich town of Volterra, Italy, Artieri Alabastro was established with a singular mission: to gather the most skilled alabaster artisans in a unified effort to preserve and elevate this ancient craft. The name "Artieri" was not merely chosen at random; it was inspired by the celebrated Italian literary figure Gabriele D'Annunzio, who, during his visit to the cooperative in 1908, was profoundly moved by the intricate, handmade alabaster creations produced by the Volterran artisans.

By the 1930s, Artieri Alabastro had risen to prominence as one of Italy’s foremost Art Deco manufacturers, known globally for its commitment to unparalleled craftsmanship, the use of the finest quality alabaster, and the creation of designs that are as refined as they are artisanal. Each piece crafted under the Artieri name is a testament to the enduring legacy of Italian craftsmanship, where tradition meets innovation to produce works of art that are both timeless and contemporary.
