Atelier

Features and types

The Atelier catalogue available on L'Arcolaio focuses on two main categories: decorative frames and plaques e boxes for religious ceremonies.

Plaques with braided border and silver-plated nameplate

Atelier plaques have a structure with braided border and silver-plated nameplate, designed to be personalised with the name and date of the ceremony. There are two formats:

• Plaque 18.5 × 23.5 cm — the largest format, suitable for wall display or on a sideboard, with engravable silver-plated nameplate.
• Plaque 6.5 × 27.5 cm — elongated horizontal format, ideal as a ceremony place card or to rest on a shelf.

The silver-plated finish is the common characteristic of the entire line: it creates visual uniformity when combining multiple pieces on the same table or arrangement.

Frames decorated with cherubs

I Horizontal Cherubs 6 × 30.5 cm decorated are a frame in elongated format with classical sculptural motifs. The dimensions make it a decorative wall or table element, suitable for first communion or christening receptions. The cherub motif recalls a classical style and fits well into arrangements in white, ivory or gold.

Rosary holder box for communion

The Leather rosary holder box communion 7 × 7 cm silver-plated is the most functional piece of the Atelier selection. The compact dimensions (7 × 7 cm) make it convenient to carry on the day of the ceremony. The leather binding with silver-plated finishes places it in the mid-range as a positioning choice. It is suitable as a first communion wedding favour or as an accompaniment to the confetti package for children receiving the sacrament.

How to choose Atelier products for your ceremony

For those who want a lasting memory of the first communion

Plaques with silver-plated nameplate are designed to be engraved with the child's name and the date of the ceremony. If you are looking for something that remains visible over time — on a shelf, in a room or in the hallway — the 18.5 × 23.5 cm format is the most suitable. The elongated format (6.5 × 27.5 cm) works instead as a place card at the table of honour or as a vertical element in a more elaborate arrangement.

For those who want a practical communion wedding favour

The leather rosary holder box is a practical choice: the child receives something to use straight away on the day of the ceremony, and the silver-plated leather box also serves as the final packaging. By combining it with confetti and a coordinated bag, you get a complete wedding favour without having to look for additional packaging.

For the decoration of the room or table

The Horizontal Cherubs frames add a fixed decorative element to the arrangement. They do not serve as an individual memento but as a visual complement to the room: they work well placed on the cake table, at the ceremony backdrop or on a display surface next to the wedding favours.

Style and coordination

The entire Atelier line uses silver-plated finishes. For visual consistency, the objects coordinate with:
- white or ivory organza confetti bags;
- white or ivory confetti (classic for first communion);
- silver or pearl white ribbons.

For those who want a coordinated ceremony arrangement — from the room to the wedding favours — L'Arcolaio has a 5,000 sqm showroom in Pignataro Interamna, just a few minutes from the Cassino exit on the A1, open Monday to Saturday 8:30–19:00 and Sunday 10:00–19:00. Here it is possible to see the articles in person and choose at your leisure. For all the rest of the home and ceremonies assortment, you can start from the L'Arcolaio homepage.

Frequently asked questions

Are Atelier products suitable as first communion wedding favours?

Yes. The silver-plated leather rosary holder box (7×7 cm) is specifically designed for communion: the size is right for the day of the ceremony and the leather binding makes it a complete wedding favour. The plaques with silver-plated nameplate are instead suitable as a memento to be personalised with name and date.

Can Atelier plaques be engraved?

The plaques have a silver-plated nameplate designed for personalisation. To verify the engraving methods available, it is advisable to contact L'Arcolaio directly: engraving depends on the supplier and may vary depending on the product.

What is the difference between the two plaque formats?

The 18.5 × 23.5 cm plaque is larger and displays comfortably on a wall or on a sideboard. The 6.5 × 27.5 cm plaque is narrow and elongated: it is designed as a place card or as a horizontal decorative element on a table or shelf.

Can I collect the order in store?

Yes. L'Arcolaio allows orders to be collected directly at the Pignataro Interamna (FR) point of sale. The shop is located just a few minutes from the Cassino exit on the A1 motorway, open Monday–Saturday 8:30–19:00 and Sunday 10:00–19:00.
