TRADITIONAL METALWORK / HISTORIC METALWORK / CUSTOM METALWORK

Connoisseurs around the world are driving a renewed demand for luxurious custom metalwork. Lyrical in design, handcrafted railings, balustrades and gates serve as the jewelry of a house, belying their intrinsic strength and ultimate functionality. At Gold Coast Metal Works' atelier, highly skilled blacksmiths rely on time-honored techniques to forge hot metal - most commonly steel, but also bronze and wrought iron - and use anvils, hammers and chisels to create meticulous flowers and leaves, sinuous curves and decorative rosettes. Each finished piece is a unique and original work and will look beautiful for centuries. At Gold Coast Metal Works, a team of expertly trained artisans works on each commission. From engineers and draftsmen, to blacksmiths and finishers. With headquarters on the North Shore of New York's Long Island, the company easily works anywhere in the world.
