The Legacy of Lucien Gau: The Prestige of Bronze Since 1860

As a master bronzier since 1860, Lucien Gau has built its reputation among Historic Monuments, museums, palaces, luxury hotels, and private residences. Passed down through generations, this family business is now one of the few houses to perpetuate the art of decorative bronze casting and the production of classic lighting in France.

100% French Artistic Craftsmanship

Each luminaire is made in France, in Lucien Gau’s workshops, using ancestral techniques:

Foundry, molding, chiseling, and gilding by hand
Exclusive use of noble metals (solid bronze, brass, copper)
Highly customizable finishes (gilded, patinated bronze, chrome…)

Lucien Gau is also committed to heritage restoration, faithfully reproducing antique pieces for palaces, churches, or castles.
