Over the last fifteen years we have been designing and making our products in the traditional way using forged steel, combining strength with beauty. Each piece is hand crafted giving you the opportunity to buy ironmongery that is individual rather than mass produced. We feel that in creating our 'From the Anvil Collection' we have revitalised the blacksmith's craft with no compromise on quality but giving wider availability for all. Our items are hand-forged by master craftsmen using traditional English blacksmithing methods.The designs are based on timeless classics but hand-forging means no two pieces are identical, each one a unique yet functional work of art that will only enhance it's setting. Black Finish - (For Internal or External Use) - our traditional satin Black Finish is baked in a high-temperature oven giving it an attractive, durable and corrosion-resistant finish which is low maintenance and can be used internally or externally. It is resistant to moisture so can be used in bathrooms and damp conditions. We recommend that the ironmongery is wiped with a lightly oiled cloth from time-to-time. This will remove harmful deposits and restore it to its original condition. All moving parts should be oiled prior to fitting and periodically afterwards. Always use a pilot drill and rub screw with candle wax before fitting.
