Vanities & Furniture

The warmth of wood and copper combined with hand-forged ironwork make for a distinctive line of furnishings complimentary to almost any decor.

The copper, which is what makes this collection of furniture so unique, is melted down from recycled copper and hand hammered into the appropriate size and shape. The copper is thick gauged and is hand hammered in a very dense pattern. This detail is important as it affects how the copper wears from abrasion over time. Since the copper is hammered in a tight pattern, the “hilltops” abrade and not the “valleys” causing the appearance of the hammered marks to be enhanced.

The wood used in this collection is a combination of new pine and old reclaimed pine salvaged from old buildings (old barn wood). The pieces and construction techniques are specifically designed to minimize cracking and warping such as free-floating the wood panels. The drawers employ wood runners so they do not drop when opened. The iron drawer pulls and door hinges are all hand forged, including the small diamond-headed nails, which are individually hand-made.

The finish on the old barn wood is a dark walnut finish, which combines very well with the colors in the hammered copper. It has a very smooth and refined appearance. This finish is applied using wood stain, a glaze, and two coats of high quality and durable clear coat lacquer that is durable and water resistant.

A lighter honey colored finish is also available upon request. This finish involves oil based stains combined with three coats of hand-rubbed wax.

Most of the furniture items in this collection have been beautifully accented with hand-forged iron. The iron used is heavily forged, cleanly welded, and very sturdy. The finish on the iron is resistant to corrosion and is suitable for use in salt air beach environments.

The uniqueness and quality of these designs has resulted in the creation of a product line that combines recycled copper, reclaimed wood, and hand-forged iron in a way that no one else does.
