Fire-gilded bronzes were already among the most precious luxury goods in the 19th century, supplied by French craftsmen to courts and grand houses throughout Europe. This high level of craftsmanship still fascinates collectors today. At the beginning of the elaborate process of creation is the artist's design. This is later cast, chased and finally gilded. VAN HAM regularly offers a considerable range of fire-gilded bronzes, in the form of filigree pendulums, girandoles or centerpieces.
