More about us

Atelier de Brou offers you a modern touch to traditional styles, copies of antique furniture or creations that will enhance your living space. We only use french woods to manufacture our furniture : walnut, cherrywood and oak for stained finishes or beech, lime and oak for lacquered finishes.

	Our furniture backs are always made in raw oakboards as in the past (except for some items of the Forties).

All our items are designed with the greatest respect to the ethic of high quality cabinet making. All of our products are produced from A to Z in our workshops, from production to finishes, by high skilled cabinet makers, whose unique desire is to satisfy the needs of our customers. All references are produced in small quantities, with traditional jointing (by tenons and mortises, dovetails for drawers, and by grooves and strips for boards, top and bottom of furniture) They are then stored in brut awaiting the chosen finish.

Then each piece of furniture is taken individually for aging, leading to the restitution of an antique charm. This is followed by the application of a water based dye for tinted furniture, or undercoat for lacquered furniture.

After several stages of polishing and vanishing, the final touch is given by the application of a beeswax "Terre de Siena" mix. Gold or silver off sets leaves are applied on a red or blue base.

Decorative handware is in solid brass for rings, knobs and for some handles. Keyholes, handles, feet as well as other decoration are in bronze and personalized to the clients requirements. On the back of each article of furniture the Atelier de Brou stamp can be found.
