Specialist of bar tops made of pewter, l'Etainier Tourangeau is the heir of two centuries of tradition.They perpetuate the know-how by manufacturing bar tops according to the rules of art, but remain however creators.That unique know-how is recognized not just in France but world wide.


Pewter : Traditionnally the alloy was 60% pured "Claire Etoffe" or 82 % pure for a brighter silvery finish. Our borders, bar tops, beer pumps, etc. . .  are now in pewter in compliance with US and german food regulations.

Pewter in compliance with food regulations : Our pewter is absolutely in compliance with food regulations according to the US and german norms. Our pewter is absolutely without lead.


Pewter
takes shape with great ease.


Pewter is easy to maintain; the bar top, with time, will acquire an irreplaceable patina while keeping its beautiful silver colour.The realization without  sharp angles and entirely made in one piece guaranties absolute hygiene.Cleaning is simply done with soapy water. We however produce a mineral soap allowing pewter to keep its silver brilliance. The impacts on the pewter will leave little bruises on the bar top.These bruises will twinkle and will leave a soul to the bar top .It will "star".


Personalization : Our production blends in with classical or contemporary styles. Our experience allows us to produce your project whatever the shape or special border.Our engraving shop also offers you possibilties to personalize your project


Word wide : 50 % of our production is exported world wide : USA, CANADA, BRAZIL, COREA, EGYPT, EUROPEAN COMMUNITY, SWITZERLAND, SCANDINAVIA, etc …


Global realization : For these relatively small realizations, our cabinetmakers can accomplish either the global realization of your project, wood and pewter, or only the pewter part that will get fixed on your existing bar.


We can adapt the pewter top to your
existing bar to change its look or to your bar in process.


The border provides the
decorative theme of a bar counter or panelling frames. We have many mould patterns, carefully conserved over several generations,and  so can offer a wide choice.We can also produce exclusive designs on request, i.e. engravings of themes or logos, or even association of different borders for a special effect
