Handcrafted Copper Furniture
Each piece combines hand-hammered copper with reclaimed wood and forged iron. Our artisans use traditional techniques passed down through generations in Mexico's Sierra Madre region. The multi-step finishing process ensures lasting beauty and durability while maintaining the natural characteristics of the materials.
Custom Furniture Orders
We create bespoke furniture pieces tailored to specific dimensions and design preferences. Our custom capabilities include unique copper top shapes, specialized iron base designs, and wood finish options. This service caters to both residential and commercial clients seeking one-of-a-kind installations.
Reclaimed Wood Furniture
Our wood components use reclaimed pine from old buildings combined with new pine. The materials undergo EPA-approved fumigation and receive a multi-coat finish system. This approach creates durable, environmentally responsible wood elements that complement our copper and iron components.
Hand-Forged Iron Bases
Iron bases are crafted using traditional blacksmithing techniques with raw iron heated and shaped by hand. The six-step finishing process creates corrosion-resistant surfaces suitable for coastal environments. Available in standard and heavy-duty versions for different aesthetic preferences.
Wholesale Distribution
We supply furniture to retail stores and interior design professionals globally. Our wholesale program includes access to full product catalogs, competitive pricing, and free international shipping on qualifying orders.
