Founded in 1934, the Lucien Gau company is one of the most renowned French manufacturers of prestigious lighting fixtures. Lucien Gau designs and manufactures an exceptional range of chandeliers, wall lights and candlesticks. The manufacturing, of exceptional quality, is entirely carried out in France. The artistic artisans employed by Lucien Gau work, finish, assemble and patinate the bronze according to the most traditional methods, the legacy of a long tradition of excellence. The bronzes are cast in an artisanal way: for each model, the craftsmen sculpt the parts of a lighting fixture, a reference example. For each example made from this model, a sand mold is made, into which the molten bronze is poured. Broken when unmolded, the mold is only used once. This process makes it possible to obtain a unique finesse, and allows great freedom of design. Cooled then unmolded, each piece then undergoes a long finishing process: trimming, turning, carving of fine ornamental motifs, polishing and application of the patina are carried out entirely by hand, and require unique know-how. In Lucien Gau's collections, we find lighting fixtures of great elegance and balance of form. Masterful chandelier or discreet wall light, each model benefits from the same manufacturing quality. Lucien Gau has created the lighting for many exceptional buildings, castles, ministries and palaces, all over the world.
