ABOUT US
Cristal&Bronze is a French manufacturer of bathroom fittings and accessories founded in 1937 in Paris
The company ensures its production thanks to a workshop located in the medieval village of Château-Landon, near Paris. Each brass piece is handmade by skillful craftsmen who were trained in traditional metalworking techniques. Their extensive know-how can be seen through the quality of their products and especially through their perfect finishes, from gilding to patinas.
Iconic bathroom fittings
In the 1970s, the Ritz Paris entrusted Cristal&Bronze with the creation of its exceptional brassware —and so the legendary Cygne Ailé brassware collection was born, the house’s timeless signature. This iconic collection illustrates Cristal&Bronze’s ability to perpetuate exceptional craftsmanship, while crafting pieces that leave an impression on their era and become references in the world of decoration.
Bath accessories
In order to answer worldwide requests regarding bathrooms projects, Cristal&Bronze has developed a wide range of accessories in various styles and many complementary articles: towel hangers, mirrors, perfume atomizers, soap dishes, and so on. They are all made of prestigious materials such as brass, cut crystal or obsidian.
International recognition
Highly specialised in the bathroom field, Cristal&Bronze provides its expertise to many architectural and interior design firms throughout the world. Ambassador of a refined lifestyle, the company is therefore involved in numerous private and public projects, in France and abroad.

CRAFTSMANSHIP
Foundry
The lead-free brass is cast in moulds that have been carefully preserved over the decades.
This stage is hand-made in order to tailor the dosage to the complex shapes.
Machining
Silver brazing
The components are joined using silver brazing, a soldering technique that ensures strong joints and preserves the integrity of the metal.
Hand polishing
Surface treatment
Our parts are finished – chrome, nickel, patinas – using processes mastered in-house, with a palette of over 30 colours.
Manufacturing
Quality control
Each piece is inspected individually before dispatch: checking for watertightness, finish quality, the proper functioning of mechanisms.
