A family craft
One workshop, one family’s hands.
Since 1987 our workshop has been in a historic han near the Grand Bazaar. Everything in the catalogue, from trays to candelabras, is made here; today the family’s second generation runs it.
How a piece is made
-
Brass
The body is brass; silver or gold is only on the surface.
-
Shaping
The brass body is shaped by casting and turning.
-
Plating
The surface is plated in silver or gold; the bronze tone comes from patina.
-
Finished by hand
Patterns are worked by hand; every piece is checked and packed in protective packaging.
A closer look at a candelabra
The acanthus-leaf arms and the stepped base are worked by hand.
The master and the team
“Finishing a tray takes two days. If we rush, the brass shows it straight away.”
Casting, filing and polishing are done by the same small team. Every piece passes through the master’s hands before it is packed.
