ALL OF THE HARDWARE ILLUSTRATED ON THIS SITE IS HAND FORGED AND FINISHED

Careful forging and benchwork (filing, fitting and finishing) are necessary to faithfully reproduce the details, finish and feel of early wrought hardware.

The architectural hardware contained herein is but a sampling of what I have made over the past 30 years. I will reproduce most types and styles of early ironware and will furnish pricing and delivery times upon receipt of measured drawings, photographs or references to available books about the subject. Several references are: Furniture Treasury, Wallace Nutting; Early American Wrought Iron, Albert Sonn; Iron and Brass Implements of the English Household, J. Seymour Lindsay; or the books of Henry J. Kauffman.
