Raw materials and finishing

 

The choice of the raw materials we work with: brass, copper and zinc guarantees the quality and the reliability of our lights for both indoor and outdoor use.

 

We work with 16 different “finishes” on our lights; some on brass or copper some others on zinc.  The surface covering is treated in a  metal  bath and given a coating using acid. Each piece becomes unique and certain patinas will evolve with time..

 

- Zinc brossé verni - Vert de gris
- Zinc patiné verni - Canon de fusil
- Vieux zinc - Laiton poli verni
- Laiton patiné verni - Zinc poli verni
- Laiton patiné acide verni - Nickel satiné*
- Vieux laiton ciré - Nickel brillant*
- Vieux fer rouillé - Nickel noir*
- Laque - Chromé*

 

*For technical reasons, some of our models cannot be made with some of these “finishes”.
