The Borghese company was an Italian giftware company that operated in the late 1950s and 1960s. They produced a number of prints in elaborate and decorative frames as high-end furnishing art, as well as ornamental decoupaged bookends, botanical prints, classical sculpture figures, trumeau mirrors, and much more. The company was named after the House of Borghese, a family of Italian noble and papal background, originating as the Borghese or Borghesi in Siena, where they came to prominence in the 13th Century and held offices under the commune. During the 16th Century the head of the family, Marcantonio, moved to Rome and rose quickly in power and wealth following the election of his son Camillo as Pope Paul V in 1605. In the 20th Century the family experienced several reversals in fortune, particularly due to the World Wars and to an aborted fascist coup d'état against the center-left national government in the 1970s. However, several modern descendants have also had great success in politics, cosmetics, television, and other entrepreneurial activities, of which the art and home furnishing company was a small part.
