Seen on Screen

For more than three centuries, the ironwork of Jean Tijou has shaped some of Europe’s most distinguished architectural landmarks – gates, balustrades, and ornamental details forged with remarkable precision and artistry.
That legacy continues on screen. These historic settings, defined by Tijou’s craftsmanship, have appeared in major film and television productions across the world. Filmmakers return to them for their authenticity, architectural depth, and enduring grandeur.
True artistry does not fade. It endures – and it is seen.
