Restoration of Conservatories

In 1882 the great engineer Gustave Eiffel built a conservatory in Paris; more than a century later we restored it. Bibiano Duclos who, like Eiffel, had attended the school “Central des Arts et Manufactures” in France, created a society to exploit the patent in 1890 for collapsible houses, metallic framework and double walls.
Thus, according to this hypothesis, there would be no Eiffel buildings in Mexico, but there would have been the first Duclos house built abroad. One of his houses called “le Châlet de la Lanterne” in St Cloud was restored by us.
A lot of conservatories, bow-windows and canopies built during the 19 th and the beginning of the 20 th century have been restored by Serres et Ferronneries d’Antan
 

Re­fe­rences

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.
