XIXe siècle
The Origins of Expertise
It was in 1895, in the heart of the Marais district in Paris, that Henry Delisle founded the house that would bear his name. A heir to a centuries-old tradition of artistic bronze craftsmanship, he imbued his first creations with a rare standard: combining artisanal skill, meticulous attention to detail, and the nobility of materials. His lighting fixtures quickly won over connoisseurs and graced the finest homes of the era.

Between Heritage and Influence
The 20th century was a period of growth and widespread recognition. Maison Delisle embraced major aesthetic movements, from Art Deco to more contemporary creations, while remaining true to the timeless elegance of its heritage. It undertook prestigious commissions for palaces and royal residences, and in 1935 established its headquarters at the Hôtel Canillac, a historic residence that would become the beating heart of the Maison.

At the same time, Maison Delisle looks to the future, collaborating with contemporary architects and designers to create daring collections with clean lines that converse with the tradition of bronze and light.
