STOCK MATERIAL FAMILY CODING (S.M.F.C.) (Patents Pending)

To clearly identify stock material used in our line of hand forged wrought iron architectural components, we have categorized most of the line into "Stock Material Families". This unique identification system (a first in the industry with patents pending) gives designers an instant indicator for components that can be used together with the stock material being an exact match.

While this grouping into stock material families is an extremely helpful guide, it is not intended to imply that forged components hammered from different stock materials are incompatible. Rather, it will minimize surprises resulting from possible oversight of the specific stock material used in a particular forging when one is suddenly overwhelmed by the beauty and exquisite hand crafted detail of a particular forged component in this catalog.

Please Note: The folowing photographs are of stock material and are for example purposes only. Many of our products are hand-forged and will vary in look.
