Arts and crafts Angers

Built in the ^15th century, Adam's house, which takes its name from the statues of Adam and Eve that were once on the facade, is one of the most beautiful wood panelled houses in France. Today it houses an atypical shop on three levels, with works by more than 80 artists: globes, ceramics, compasses, watches... it is difficult to choose! You will also find tapestries, copies of famous paintings and several originals by Maricke. In the basement, the blown glass and cut crystal creations will leave you in awe.

History. OA 1710 is world-renowned for its perfect mastery of tin work and is particularly renowned for its Champagne buckets (polished solid tin). This house of excellence has been awarded the Entreprise du patrimoine vivant distinction.

In 1710, Antoine Alègre, the first tinsmith of his line, settled as a master tinsmith in Angers and founded the Etains d'Anjou which would become the "Orfèvrerie d'Anjou" and today the Maison OA 1710 / Orfèvrerie d'Anjou. She is naturally solicited for the creation of exceptional objects and works under contract for the greatest houses: Taittinger, Bollinger, Moët & Chandon, Rémy Martin, Hennessy, Baccarat, Guerlain, Hermès, Moulin Rouge...

Products. Champagne bucket and its accessories: knife and sword, vases, funnels for decanting wine, knife holders, candlesticks, reissues (tea set, traditional champagne bucket). It also creates unique pieces in very small series by collaborating with large design signatures.
