Bronzes De France

What Bronzes De France does

Bronzes de France designs and manufactures decorative bronze hardware and furnishings for luxury residential, hospitality, and retail projects. The company's product portfolio spans three categories: doors and windows hardware (levers, knobs, cremones, espagnolettes, hinges, plates, locks), furnishings hardware (cabinet knobs, key heads, moldings, pulls, hooks), and curtain accessories (rings, brackets, finials, holdbacks). The catalog includes over 20,000 models across historical periods (Gothic, Renaissance, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Empire, Haussmann) and a growing contemporary line (Art Déco, Couture, Design, Louxor, Metropolis, Reda Amalou, Tracées, Végétal), with 30+ standard finishes available across all products. Manufacturing is concentrated at the Tinchebray workshop in Normandy, where approximately 40 artisans combine traditional techniques — lost wax casting (Fonte à la cire perdue), sand casting, hand chiseling (Ciselure), precision silver welding — with digital CNC machining and a multi-stage polishing/gilding/buffing finish process. The company also offers in-house bespoke design and engineering services, creating custom pieces from drawings, sketches, or photographs and restoring vintage items.

The company monetizes through one-time project-based sales of catalog hardware and bespoke commissions. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with no e-commerce channel; all sales are handled consultatively through company-owned showrooms in Paris (73 avenue Daumesnil, 75012 Paris) and New York (D&D Building, 979 Third Avenue) plus a quote request form on the website with a stated 24-hour response time. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting interior designers, architects, project managers, and hotel groups on a project basis. Named reference projects include Hôtel Prince de Galles (Paris), Hôtel Royal Mansour (Marrakech), Hôtel The Woodward (Switzerland), the Saudi Ambassador's Residence (Paris), as well as historical work for Hôtel Crillon, George V, Meurice, and Ritz. The company is structured as a SAS (Société par Actions Simplifiée) with €100,000 in capital, has been part of the Ateliers de France group since 2018, and holds Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (EPV) certification from the Institut National des Métiers d'Art.
