Original decorative flowerpot 74 x 37 x 93 cm

The incredible journey of Eric Stepniewski with bronze began in 1973 in his hometown of Paris, where he started working as an antique dealer. After many years of running his Gallery, he took over the famous company specializing in zinc plating and antique restoration: Bettencourt.

In 1989, he decided to elevate the company to a higher level and moved to Poland, the country of his parents, to create his own collections using his favorite materials: gold, silver, malachite, and lapis lazuli.

Materials

MALACHITE

Malachite is a semi-precious stone originating from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Used in jewelry, but also as decoration (vases, columns, clocks, furniture), especially in Russia since the 18th century. It is beneficial for health to wear it as a bracelet due to its anti-rheumatic healing properties. We are pleased to work with a stone that is becoming increasingly difficult to find each year.

LAPIS

Lapis is a semi-precious stone originating from Afghanistan. It has been used since antiquity (Tutankhamun's sarcophagus) and in jewelry. Since the 18th century, it has been used for furniture, vases, clocks, and various objects.

BRASS

Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, with zinc making up to 40% of the composition.

GOLD

Gold is one of the most sought-after materials in the world. We use it in almost all our creations. Depending on the country and value, it has different titles: 9 carats, 14 ct, 18 ct, and 24 ct (pure gold). To gild our items and provide our clients with the highest quality, we use only 24-carat gold by the zinc plating method.

CRYSTAL

We use crystal mainly for lamps or vases of various shapes and colors. It is hand-cut by specialized craftsmen.
