Forged Mantle Mirror

With the broad range of work we create, it follows that we work with a broad range of clients. The folks we work with range from homeowners to architects, contractors to community boards. This particular project was brought to us by an interior designer looking for a large custom mirror to go over the client's mantle.

A few detail shots.

And a rough summary of the process. Notice the steps in creating the individually handforged leaves, from paper template to steel blank form to shaping the hot form on both the anvil and a wooden block.
