photoTables
The art of iron gives meaning to
the art of eating at these
dining tables. Though of
traditional craftsmanship, they
neatly mirror the twentieth
century fashion for simplicity
and lack of clutter.

photoSo unique and utterly simple in
design,our classical coffee tables
seem as if they had been borrowed
from old castles lit with roaring fires
and huge flag floors. The Old Forge
and Foundry have designed the
tables to complement any size
and style of house.


Seating

Seating designed with such flair and dream is pure decadence.
Clean neoclassical lines of iron work coupled with contemporary
bold fabric is both a striking yet subtle approach
to seating in any room.

The Iron Age

The discovery of how to use metal was one of man's greatest achievements. The Iron Age brought with it stronger and sharper swords, chariots strengthened for battle, helmets and shields. It brought with it jewellery and ornaments of such detail and craftsmanship, never before discovered. Jewels, brooches, bracelets, mirrors, candlesticks and heavily adorned tankards all portray a movement towards a certain decadence in life. Remains of iron statuettes and dancers tell us that the iron age people loved to dance an make music. The standard of workmanship and design in their ornaments shows that they had craftsmen with a feeling for art. The movement of the metal caught in some of the pieces shows that early stages of design and art was evolving. For the first time, craftsmen had a material that they could manipulate and shape into anything they wanted. Only unique pieces were found. Nothing was exactly duplicated because everything was made entirely by hand. These pieces are even now used as basics for contemporary design.

Wrought iron was a material they found a pleasure to work with...........we still do.
