Historique

Since 1963 Roger Hager has been a professional working on the restoration of greenhouses.

Saddened by the number of ancient greenhouses ruined by rust and neglect, he decided to make an effort to save this important aspect of European history.

He created his own company “Serres et Ferronneries d'Antan” near the famous “Valley of the kings” in Loir et Cher.

A family business, his co-workers restore greenhouses and conservatories, classed as Historic Monuments.

The company also designs and manufactures steel structures including greenhouses, conservatories, bow-windows, canopies and swimming-pool enclosures in the style of the 19 th century.

Near Genova, we built a charming greenhouse, in the garden of the “Villa Diodati”. The story of “Frankenstein” started in the summer of 1816, when Mary accepted a challenge, set by Lord Byron, the most notorious Romantic and satirist poet, to write a ghost story. With her husband's encouragement, she completed the novel within a year. At the “Villa Diodati” she had been a "silent listener" of her husband and Byron, who discussed galvanism.

In England, Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and Morocco we have built greenhouses in different gardens.
