Located in the heart of the Mayenne countryside, the Domaine de Mauvinet is a former 19th-century estate that has been fully restored to host events in a prestigious setting. Surrounded by 1.5 hectares of greenery, the site brings together history, nature and refinement, offering an ideal backdrop to highlight antique elements.
For this landscaping project, the choice naturally fell on an Antique French Art Deco lamp posts from the renowned Durenne foundries. A true statement piece, this type of lighting embodies the craftsmanship of French cast iron work, celebrated for its quality and rich decorative detail.
Before installation, the lamp post underwent a complete restoration. It was carefully sandblasted to reveal the raw texture of the material, then repainted to ensure long-term protection and durability outdoors. Its new owner also added a lighting system. This restoration preserves the charm of the original piece while ensuring it integrates sustainably into its surroundings.
Positioned at the entrance to the estate, the lamp post creates a warm and refined atmosphere. Its authentic aesthetic complements the architecture of the site and enhances its distinctive character.
