Tisserant Art & Style

What Tisserant Art & Style does

Tisserant Art & Style is a privately-held French luxury bronze manufacturer founded in 1930 by Émile Tisserant in Paris, where the company continues to operate its artisan workshop at 172 rue de Charonne (11th arrondissement). The company perpetuates 17th and 18th century French bronze traditions through hand-crafted production techniques including bronze casting, 24K gold electroplating (gilding), hot-dip patinas, nickel finishing, and the integration of premium materials such as rock crystal and Bohemian crystal. Its product portfolio spans lighting fixtures (chandeliers, wall lights, floor lamps, table lamps, ceiling lights), furniture (tables, consoles, chairs, mirrors), decorative objects (candlesticks, vases, sculptures), and bespoke custom-made pieces. Notable proprietary collections include Rateau, Bambou, Zig-Zag, Orientale, and increasingly designer collaborations with Pierre Gonalons (FOREVER), Elliott Barnes (IQANDA), and Mauricio Clavero Kozlowski (PALMETTE).

The company's primary revenue streams are one-time sales of luxury lighting, furniture, and decorative objects through an exclusive global distributor network serving trade professionals, plus professional services revenue from heritage restoration of period fixtures for institutions such as the Opéra Royal de Versailles (restoration of 165+ fixtures), Royal Opera of Liège, Cour de Cassation, Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and Aéroclub of France. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires professional account registration. The go-to-market is channel-partner driven, with no direct-to-consumer sales; expansion leverages international trade shows (Paris Déco Home, Maison & Objet), Business France-organized events for U.S. market entry, and a multilingual digital presence (French, English, Russian, Chinese) across major social platforms.

The business is led by A. Tisserant as President, representing family ownership since founding, with no evidence of external institutional investors or parent company. The company employs 11-50 people and operates with a share capital of €200,000, indicating a tightly-held, small-scale artisanal enterprise. Geographic reach extends across five continents through its distributor network, with active expansion into the U.S. market as of October 2025 via Business France partnerships.
