Our expertise
We work to preserve the works of art of yesterday, so that our descendants may have the pleasure of appreciating the craftsmanship and beauty of the treasures our forebears made for us.
The craftsmen’s skill shows in the quality of execution and the finish of details and chasing. In designing their works, the artist-craftsmen were concerned solely with creation. Perfectionists, they also upheld their reputation for fine workmanship before their patrons.
Furniture restoration
From generation to generation the same gestures have been handed down. Today we have the advantage of perpetuating the skills of the past combined with the techniques of the present to safeguard a unique and varied body of furniture created over centuries.
An unequalled wealth, the fruit of a culture, a dexterity and a patience that our present age can no longer pass on. Much of our know-how has already fallen into oblivion.
The cabinetmaker often works with precious and increasingly rare woods. Their colour and grain, once varnished, give furniture all its beauty, to the great delight of connoisseurs. Furniture that has become rare and bears the stamp of a style, a reflection of each more or less troubled era of European history.
Metalwork restoration
In the past these objects were widely used in everyday life because they were practical, rustproof, luxurious and, above all, repairable. There was no place for excessive consumption.
A true last pewterer in all of Europe, our colleague will share with you the knowledge that he alone holds.
Metalwork that is being lost and becoming a dead trade like so many others…
