ANTICA OCCHIALERIA

ANTICA OCCHIALERIA Combining quality workmanship with the finest materials, our hand-crafted glasses are created with high regard to the Italian artisan tradition.

When Lucio Enrico Di Nardo, expert collector and lover of objects of art, began his career in optics in 1956, he never imagined that his descendants would transform it into an artisan eyewear business, whose production, by virtue of long experience, has allowed it to combine aesthetics with visual function. Each piece, made from the best materials available on the market and carefully hand finishe

d in full respect of the “Made in Italy” tradition, draws its uniqueness and originality from the vast historical collection by which the Di Nardo Family and his colleagues were inspired. Quando nel 1956 Lucio Enrico Di Nardo, esperto collezionista e amante di oggetti d’arte, inizia la sua attività di ottica, non immaginava certo che i suoi discendenti l’avrebbero trasformata in una occhialeria artigiana, la cui produzione, in virtù della lunga esperienza, ha permesso di combinare estetica e funzionalità visiva. Ogni pezzo, realizzato nel miglior materiale reperibile sul mercato è accuratamente rifinito a mano nel pieno rispetto della tradizione del “Made in Italy”, trae la sua unicità ed originalità dalla vasta collezione storica, cui la famiglia Di Nardo e i suoi collaboratori si sono ispirati.

Looking put together starts with the right frames.

The wrong frame shape can make your features look unbalanced. The wrong colour can clash with your natural colouring and wash you out.

The right frame shape works with your face structure.
The right colour accentuates your features.
Together, they change how you present yourself without changing anything else.

This is what we consider when making bespoke frames at Antica Occhialeria.
Every pair is designed around the person wearing it.

This is tumbling.

Acetate frames are placed in a rotating drum with wooden pellets and tumbled for hours.
This removes every micro-scratch from the surface that hand-polishing alone cannot reach.

The result is a smooth, flawless finish, every time.

The frame shape of 2026 is the oval.

Clean lines, soft curves, works on many face shapes.
A silhouette that has existed for over a century and remains the most versatile frame in eyewear.
