For almost two centuries, Marchesi 1824 has stood out for its fine pastries, prepared following traditional recipes, its soft croissants and its selection of chocolates. The London shop combines this traditional range of Italian confectionery with a wide selection of candies, bonbons, chocolates, pralines, and sweets, surrounded by elegant cherry furnishings and original, carefully restored, decorative tiles.

The menu, devised especially for the new patisserie, is served on fine Rosenthal porcelain, with silver Sambonet cutlery.

“All Marchesi 1824 products are presented in refined packaging with a luxury feel. The baked goods are prepared daily in store,” said Prada Group in a statement.

Inside, the furniture made from cherry and loosely inspired by the current design of the two shops on Via  Montenapoleone and in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan blends with the original wooden features, such as the visible partition in the entrance hall. The precious black veined and yellow Siena marble floors, as well as the original ceiling with exposed wooden beams, are paired with lantern-style lamps, creating a sophisticated visual effect.

A cosy room at the rear of the shop is dedicated to drinking tea, with a variety of options for all times of day.

The 70 m² (750 sq. ft) space was redecorated in a way that respects its authentic pre-existing elements like the historic wall decorations and numerous wroughtiron hooks on the ceiling.

“The design draws on the atmosphere and charm of the historic shop on Via Santa Maria alla Porta in Milan, creating a highly evocative environment,” explained Prada Group.
