outdoor Sites
These sites notably relate to gilding ornamented gates and wrought iron balconies present in gardens and outbuildings, as well as gilded monumental sculptures or ornamented with gilding.
A typical example is the «Génie de la Liberté», a 6.5 meters high bronze statue overlooking 55 meters from the «colonne de Juillet», at Place de la Bastille in Paris.
Atelier Huber was tasked to restore the gilding of the «Génie» in 1989, for the bicentenary of the French Revolution: several layers of corrosion full protection were applied before covering the «Génie» with 5,500 gold leaves finish.
