Know-How

Our difference : Frame-Work
The frame of our pieces of furniture is always shaped from solid timber wood selected carefully, as oak, chestnut or mahogany…
Traditional assembly by tenons and mortises, drawers are assembled with dovetails.

Our difference : Marquetry expertise
A performing marquetry workshop allows us to be autonomous. The different pieces of the marquetry are hand-cut, in precious veneers (Brazilian Rosewood, Violet wood, Ambonya and Vavona burls, Lemon-tree, Amaranth…). Then the various Marquetry pieces are shaded with sand burnished ancestral method before being applied on the framework.

Our difference : Marble tops
The marble tops of our collection are fitted with delicate marble slabs. Those marbles tops are mainly issued from France (Pyrenees) and Italy (Carrara), and offer an exceptional choice of types and colours. All marbles tops are worked with techniques based on craftsmanship handed down through generations. Marbles tops are never varnished.

Our difference : Gilt-Bronze
Bronze ornamentation, which appear on our masterpieces of furniture, are traditionally made in Genuine Bronze and are exclusively hand-chased in our workshop.
Several finishing can be workout like antique patina finish, gilt-varnish, fine hand-chiselled and 24 carats gold plated.
