Handcrafted at the Foundry
HANDMADE WITH CARE:
This is America’s oldest and largest forge, producing hand-wrought ornamental metalware and elegant giftware in aluminum and other metals since 1923.
The man in the photo is using a hammer and form to flatten an aluminum gift piece until it has a straight back.
The heritage art at the Forge is preserved by the company’s artisans and craftsmen, who use the original eight-step process to produce every heirloom piece in aluminum, bronze, pewter, sterling silver, and other metals.
This process includes Die Engraving by a master engraver, Material Selection and Cutting, Repousse (Hammering), Surface Anvilling, Edging, Carbon Coloring, a three step polishing process, and Forming. Company artisans create new motifs and designs, while some motifs – like the ever-popular Dogwood – have endured for decades.
This year I added a new design, "tracery", to my collection. Next year, I hope to add a small piece of the classic Dogwood pattern.
