Product philosophy


Guiding principles

"A thing of simple beauty is for the connoisseur – the ornamented, on the other hand, for the crowds." (Goethe)



Torquato products are quality products
We pay particular attention to the quality of the materials used and the workmanship and durability of the products. Many products in our range are hand-made, chiefly in Germany and Western Europe.

We look for the best usage solutions and therefore attach great importance to functionality and high utility value.

It goes without saying: since we deliver all products from our own in-house warehouse, each one of them undergoes thorough quality assurance before acceptance by us and delivery to our customers. We also assure ourselves of the methods and quality of manufacture of many of our suppliers at their location.



Torquato products are classics or originals
Let's talk about what Torquato doesn't offer: mass-produced goods, collectibles, 'trend products' and bad copies of originals are what you will not find in our range.

Many of our products were already standards many years ago and will long remain so.
It is often difficult to find our products from other sources. Some of our products you will take delight in discovering.

Torquato products are of a timeless and good design
Taste can very much be accounted for. Decide for yourselves whether we meet your demands for 'good taste'.

We provide not only old and traditional forms or designs but also more modern items, when it is our opinion that this has made objects more functional. In principle, we always choose the 'design free' version of a product.

Torquato products make excellent gifts, for yourself and for others.
We don't provide any pure gift items. We provide things that people really enjoy receiving, or prefer treating themselves with.

All search options and services pertaining to gifts are obvious features to us which we provide.

Torquato products are 'well chosen'.
Only items worthy of this description can be found in our range.

What else?
Our position towards customers and suppliers is centred on enthusing with our range and satisfying with our service. We would like to be a fair and reliable long-term partner. We look forward to getting to know you!




“Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye,
Not utter'd by base sale of chapmen's tongues”
(Shakespeare)
