Bortoletti Bernini letter opener & magnifying glass desk set
The Bortoletti Bernini desk set combines two classic writing desk tools – a letter opener and a magnifying glass – crafted with traditional Italian artistry. Featuring finely chiselled bronze elements and decorative Murano glass beads infused with silver leaf, this elegant set reflects the craftsmanship and design heritage of Bortoletti Fonderia Artistica in Venice.
Murano glass with silver leaf
The decorative beads are handmade using Murano glass techniques, incorporating pure silver foil within the glass. The silver is encased in clear Murano crystal, producing a luminous metallic effect that enhances the beauty and depth of the Venetian pearl decorations.
Available Murano glass colours
The Bernini desk set is available in a wide choice of Murano glass colour combinations, allowing you to choose a style that complements your writing desk or stationery collection.
- Aquamarine

Because each Murano glass bead is handcrafted, subtle variations in colour and pattern may occur, making every set unique.
Chiselled bronze craftsmanship
The bronze components of the letter opener and magnifying glass are carefully hand-chiselled by skilled craftsmen. The finely decorated blade of the letter opener and the ornamental details give the set a classical appearance inspired by traditional writing desks and Italian decorative metalwork.
A practical and elegant desk set
This refined set combines two useful tools for everyday desk use. The letter opener allows envelopes to be opened cleanly and neatly, while the magnifying glass makes it easier to read fine print, examine documents, or appreciate the details of calligraphy, illustrations, and fine stationery.
Venetian style and design
The Bernini desk set reflects the artistic traditions of Venice, where decorative metalwork and Murano glass craftsmanship have been celebrated for centuries. The combination of bronze, silver-leaf glass beads, and elegant design creates a desk accessory that is both functional and visually distinctive.

Très beau produit. Bonne qualité, très stylé. Conforme à la photo. Un cadeau qui va être apprécié.
Bortoletti was founded in 1980 by four brothers driven by the passion passed on by their father for bronze casting and sculpture.
It was born in Venice, and it was here that a story of love and passion began that has been handed down from father to son in respect for tradition and the need to preserve what is wonderful about culture.
Bortoletti Fonderia Artistica design and create exclusive handmade objects in the tradition of Venetian craftsmanship, from the pencils of their designers and their artistic creativity come the designs of wonderful products and it is always a lifeblood of the whole creative process.
The passion and care they devote to their products are a source of pride and satisfaction for everyone. All creations are unique pieces, handmade and produced elusively in Bortoletti's workshop. By integrating with modern habits, they restore to you the pleasure of giving that has belonged to us all for millennia. The design of Bortoletti's products is so pleasing to the eye because it speaks of the past in the language of the present.
If you have a piece of Bortoletti - you have a part of Venice in your hands.
