About Us

Magnani Papers Australia has been importing and distributing Fine Art and Book papers from the Magnani paper mill in Italy since 1980. Unfortunately, in 2015, the paper mill in Pescia near Florence in Italy closed it's doors. It was put back together by the Cordenons paper group, and is now operating under the new entity Magnani 1404.

Magnani Papers Australia is Australia's only specialist Fine Art and Book papers shop. That's all we do. We have years of experience in paper manufacturing and printing, and a truly specialist knowledge of all the papers we sell. Backed up by fantastic service, competitive pricing, kickass packaging and door to door delivery Australia wide, we aim to please.

There are few fine art paper manufacturers with the history and reputation of Magnani Papers. Established in 1404, the Magnani Mill was up until its closure last year, the oldest continuously running paper mill in the modern world.

We love paper as much as you do. We understand the subtleties of grade, texture and what papers are best for which media.
