Lucien Gau

Sublime classic style lighting, solid bronze and bohemian crystal

Founded in 1934, Lucien Gau is one of France's most prestigious lighting manufacturers. Lucien Gau designs and manufactures an exceptional range of chandeliers and wall lights in the Dutch, Louis XIII, Louis XIV, Louis XV, Louis XVI, Directoire, Empire and Restoration styles. All our products are made in France to the highest quality standards. The craftsmen employed by Lucien Gau work, finish, assemble and patinate the bronzes using the most traditional methods, the heritage of a long tradition of excellence. The bronzes are cast by hand: for each model, the craftsmen model the parts of a lamp, a reference example. For each piece made from this model, a sand mould is made into which the molten bronze is poured. The mould is broken when it is removed and is only used once. This process produces a unique finesse and allows great freedom of design. Once cooled and removed from the mould, each piece undergoes a long process of finishing: deburring, turning, chiseling fine ornamental motifs, polishing and applying the patina are all done by hand and require unique expertise. The most commonly used patinas are old gold, matt pewter, bright gold and antique. Lucien Gau's collections include lights of great elegance and balance of form. From masterful chandeliers to discreet wall lights, each model benefits from the same high quality craftsmanship. Lucien Gau has designed lighting for many exceptional buildings, castles, ministries and palaces around the world. Vraiment Beau is proud to offer you such a collection of lighting of exemplary design and quality.
