Fireplace Accessories

in , ,

Fireplace accessories are such a natural fit for blacksmithing. After all, the tools are really just nicer, more finished versions of the tools we use every day. And we’re intimately familiar with creating safe environments around fire. Here are a few recent examples of custom pieces we’ve made.

First up are two modern built-in fire screens. This style is custom fit to the interior of the fire place, as opposed to a stand-alone fire screen that is set in front of the fireplace. These two are quite similar to each other, and we love how well they fit with the different styles of the two clients.

Next up is a set of fireplace tools and stand inspired by the client’s 18th century dragon fire screen. Our friend, jewelry artist Robin Grabinska, carved the prototypes for the tool handles and stand feet. We forged the tools and stand, and shipped the set off to the client’s home in Belgium. A fun one for sure!

Custom Bookshelves in Two Flavors

in , ,

The last year has been a big one for Phoenix Handcraft. After years of dreaming and saving and looking, we finally found a home on property with enough space for our studios. We moved into the house late last summer and spent the winter and early spring building out our studios. We’ll have more on that later, but for now, let’s catch up on some of our projects!

First up are two sets of custom forged steel bookshelves in two distinct styles. The top set features fairly traditional steel brackets with walnut shelves made by our friend and frequent collaborator, Christina Boy.

The second set of custom bookshelves is created in a more minimal, modern style from textured steel with glass shelves.

Stay tuned as we add more projects in the next few weeks and months! We’re looking forward to spending the summer getting caught up.

Small Table Bases

in , ,

Not too long ago, we shared a few table bases that were all big and hefty. This time around we’ve got a series of smaller, though no less substantial custom tables.

We shared some work-in-progress photos of this first set of custom tables last fall along with some other pieces of forged furniture. Since then, they’ve had tops created by the talented Sallie Plumley and the series of finished tables installed in the Tabol Brewing tasting room here in Richmond. What a gorgeous combination of handmade, local work, if we do say so ourselves!

Kyle created this grouping of glass top tables with forged steel bases in time for last fall’s Craft + Design show. This series consists of an oval coffee table and two round end tables. This set is available, so if you’re interested, contact us for pricing information and to arrange a visit to see them in person!

This last base was custom designed and created for this gorgeous stone top. We loved having this beautiful stone slab in the studio. These photos don’t come close to conveying the beauty of the colors and patterns. A simple but elegant custom table base is just the thing to support this lovely top.
