polished nickel plumbing hardware (plating)
oil rubbed bronze plating door hardware
solid bronze entry hardware
This is a photo of our simple yorktown exterior set available in any finish. This set is cast using the lost wax method (allowing us to get the highest level of detail possible).
appliance pull | custom idea pcs
Here are a couple of really great pieces of salvage hardware that we are using as conceptual parts for some new cabinet pulls and appliance pulls. The drop ring will include a machined brass trim piece to prevent the pull from denting the cabinetry.
it starts with a design concept
Often new hardware begins with a sketch. We encourage architects to use a sketch book just for the hardware drawings they generate. This is a lost art today. Much of our hardware lacks thought and is very pedestrian. Give some thought to your work – get out there and look at old hardware (use a blog like this!).
brass casement fasteners
Sometimes old homes have a significant portion of the original hardware missing. This was the case on this north shore home. We fabricated these casement fasteners to match the originals down to the steel rivet in the center. The only difference is ours has a bushing to make the action a bit smoother.
unlacqered brass door hardware
oil rubbed bronze hardware restoration
These hinges are actually 6″ x 9″ and were re-plated/finished in oil rubbed bronze. We will be fabricating some additional hinges for this project using the lost wax casting method. Also, new levers are in the process of being sculpted prior to the fabrication of molds and finish hardware. Watch for more photos in progress on this great project.
silver plated fire place tools
This is slightly off subject. However, these fireplace tools were re-silver plated by our shop recently. The casting quality and final finish was absolutly fabulous. It is not often that we see silver plated fire place hardware. Be sure to check our more of our general restoration projects at www.allenandbaron.com.
