Description

Aged Bronze - manufactured from solid bronze containing a minimum of 85% copper. This finish is bright, reflective, and extremely versatile. During the final stages of manufacturing, we apply a robust lacquer which helps preserve this bright contrast. Satin Chrome - crafted from a base of solid brass, with a high-quality chrome plating applied to its surface. If left untouched, this finish will oxidise over time and naturally age to create a historically beautiful look. This rich colour offers a beautiful contrast against the repolished surface areas, offering an abundance of charm and character perfect for any period dwelling. It offers an understated alternative to Chrome and is loved for its less reflective appearance and distinctive blue traces. Black - a popular choice in traditional settings. External Beeswax - manufactured using our unique anti-corrosive beeswax. Due to the process used to age the metal, this finish is very dark and has a rich, matt appearance. This works wonderfully in period dwellings but can also be used to bring a classic twist to contemporary properties. Its subtle sheen offers a bold contrast on stained and painted timber alike. Much like our standard Beeswax, it offers a matt richness with a depth of colour, ranging from blue to deep ochre red. Polished Bronze - made from solid bronze containing a minimum of 85% copper. Available in - Aged Brass - is intentionally tarnished using an accelerated ageing process that causes a dark patina to gather around the edges and recesses of the design. Our manufacturing techniques create contrasting textures on the surface of the metal to create a rich appearance with an abundance of charm. This Letter Plate is perfect for a multitude of property types; from townhouses with strikingly painted doors, and country cottage front doors, to Edwardian timber doors. The From The Anvil Letterplate is a Solid Brass or Bronze traditionally designed letter plate that creates an attractive option for numerous door types. This natural finish is a far softer alternative to black powder coating. Polished Chrome - made from a base of solid brass coated with a durable chrome plating to give an exceedingly high-sheen finish. Polished Nickel - manufactured from a solid brass base with high-quality plating. Pewter Patina - forged from a durable base of steel and boasts a rich, luxurious appearance. Supplied in SINGLES complete with fixings. During the final stages of manufacturing, we apply a durable, matt lacquer to this finish which helps preserve its distinctive tones. Favoured for its bright, bold appearance, Polished Chrome is well suited to contemporary designs and offers a smooth, mirror finish when polished. The Welsh-based brand From the Anvil designs and manufactures high-quality, hand-made and functional ironmongery that enhances and revives traditional buildings and brings an authentic and rustic charm to newer builds. The products are beautifully suited to listed, cottage and period properties because of their timeless appearance. From The Anvil designs are drawn and hand forged in the traditional fashion of English blacksmithing. For traditional doors, we have a system where the letter plate is fitted to the external side of the door and a letter tidy is fitted to the internal side to reduce drafts. This finish is aged and then subsequently re-polished to highlight the lighter surface areas against the darker, detailed parts. During the manufacturing process, our Black products are baked in a high-temperature oven, giving them durable, corrosion-resistant qualities. Unlacquered Brass - made from solid, unlacquered brass and have soft, golden hues which offer a depth of reflection. When polished, it offers an impressive depth of reflection and has an appropriate place in modern properties, but its warm tones also make it suitable for traditional settings. This finish sits well in characterful, rustic homes, but also works as a contemporary alternative in more modern settings.
