Brown County Forge’s Metalwork Portfolio

Handmade Hardware and Custom Craftsmanship

From fire pokers to box hinges to door handles, all of the wrought iron hardware from the shop has a distinct, rustic look.

Each piece is buffed, smoothed, and sealed against moisture, but they all have that hammered, fresh from the forge look.

See more examples on the Portfolio page.
