The Grenoble model spiral staircase was originally manufactured by the Grenoble-based company Jay & Jalliffier. The company was founded in 1884 and specialized in metalwork such as elevators, shutters and staircases.

This type of staircase is also known as a bistro staircase, due to its size and the places (such as bars, pubs and cafés) where it was often installed and found.

Villa d'Or took over production of this architectural masterpiece, featuring wooden (oak) steps and risers with cast-iron and steel elements. Villa d'Or offers exactly the same two versions as those produced by Jay & Jallifier in the past, namely the standard and deluxe versions.
