Traditional hand-crafted production

Only traditional methods are used in the making of our furniture. We mostly use beech wood, although other species of wood are available upon request.
Sculpting is entirely done by hand.
We can copy the design of your choice using a picture, drawing or model provided by you.

 

 

Gilding

We can do any type of gilding :

- water gilding on primer, burnish with agate stone, gold leaf or copper,

- gold or copper, imitation burnished gilding.
We can restore your old gilding to recover its former patina.

 

 

GLOSSY PAINT AND LACQUER
