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.

Custom ironwork requests can be made via email: BrownCountyForge@gmail.com
