It was a pleasure to be apart of this terrific custom fireplace screen project, which became an essential addition to the overall interior style. The existing fireplace was built back in the 1920th. The client wanted us to fabricate the wrought iron fireplace screen that would look antique, and as it was fabricated in the same period. So the request was to avoid welding joints and keep all the parts together using rivets.
The ocean theme of the existing fireplace has inspired our blacksmith to incorporate water plant elements into the design; he believed it would add more authenticity, making the fireplace screen appear lightweight and delicate. The client was delighted with the results. She decided to build one more fireplace screen for her living room; we kept the ocean theme, however, we had to scale it up; the living room fireplace was a bit wider and taller. No doubt that our decorative fireplace screens have become terrific accent points of the interior. |

Wrought Iron Gates,

Wrought iron gates forging is always an entertaining process. One of the main reasons is the elegance of lines, forms, and shapes incorporated in the design. Whether we are forging large iron driveway gates, wrought iron fences, or tiny wrought iron garden gates, we pay careful attention to its functionality, appearance, and durability. Why is that so important? In terms of appearance, the materials used while blacksmithing have to be solid. Hollow tubes do not have the necessary mass that can hit up to certain temperatures required to soften the iron. This positive advantage is opposite to qualities of hollow material, which instead would overburn fast and would lack the necessary mass to shape the desired form. There are certain techniques and methods where using tube material is more advantageous, we will cover this topic when describing the relative products we built. Blacksmithing is a craftsmanship that requires special blacksmithing tools. Very often the craftsman forges his set of tools, which can deliver the trademark effect and artistic authenticity to the forged object. Speaking of functionality, there are two opposite sides to the material qualities as well. The advantage of solid material is its longevity, water can't get in the side of it, so even though it is constantly exposed to the weather, because of its solidness and mass, the rust that builds up through time becomes a security layer, protecting the material form exposed climate conditions. It is recommended to coat the metal, however very often we meet clients who would like to keep the fabricated product rust. For example, there was a project, a contemporary rust fence that had to be made out of hollow tubes and left to rust on its own. The thing we have implemented was sealing up the exposed ends by welding the iron caps on each side, besides, we used thicker material that would allow the tubes to create the rustic protective layer over time. The further trick we have offered to our clients, who were exceptionally loyal and open-minded people, was coating protection using beeswax or covering it with the lacquer spray, nonetheless, they decide to keep the contemporary fence open to the weather, so it could reach more contrast rustic hues.
