Nautilus Forge Technique

Using age old tools of fire, hammer and anvil, hand forged decorative ironwork is wrought from basic bar stock into beautiful works of art and fine crafts. By heating the metal red hot in the forge, the material becomes malleable and pliable enough to create wondrous shapes and an infinite array of textures and patterns.

Working with Nautilus Forge and blacksmith Robert Horn, clients over the years have come to appreciate the many possibilities of design and aesthetics that are inherent in this versatile medium of forged metal.

Unlike cast iron, where mass production loses the character and distinction of the material, fine wrought iron is unique and imbued with the energy and spirit of the artisan making it.
