Forged metalwork has a romance and history that goes back to Vulcan's forge, and summons up images of medieval craftsmen setting their anvils ringing with hammer and bellows. Happily, the blacksmith's art has been revived in our time to a point where the best of today's artisans can rival the skills and achievements of any of their ancestors in history.
The supplier list is a cross-section of the hundreds of ornamental metalwork suppliers in the U.S. today. The editors have selected three basic types of companies for this list: (1) Custom metalworkers who can create one-of-a-kind hand-forged pieces or architectural metalwork and metal sculpture; (2) Suppliers of standard-design railings, gates, etc. that are machine-forged and welded -- and more within
the reach of everyday budgets; (3) Suppliers of decorative forged-iron components that can be incorporated by local ironworkers into moderately priced semi-custom designs.
