ATTRIBUTED TO: Pre-Raphaelite William Morris (1834 - 1896)

the Wareham Forge uses traditional blacksmithing techniques to produce items of enduring quality. Metal is heated in a coal forge then worked with the hammer to create forms and textures that no other method can duplicate. The strength of steel is combined with the warmth of hand formed copper and brass, resulting in pieces that are indistinguishable from artifacts from the past. Every item produced, from pewter button to pattern welded sword, is the result of a blending of historic form, materials and techniques.
