Our Story
Max, our founder, was never comfortable in a world of mass produced goods and cheap throw away items. Our collection of metalware combines style and nostalgia. Our pieces possess a delightful retro charm, showcasing their durability and unique character. Whether it’s for your home or garden, our range is perfect for enhancing any space.
Oh dear! I am becoming addicted to these little recycled frogs. I bought the first one intending it to be a gift, but liked it so much that I kept it. Then I bought a different one for myself as a Christmas present, and then thought I ought to get them another companion. So I now have four. I haven't actually put them outside in the garden but keep them on a long window sill which looks out over the garden. They attract a fair few compliments....
I'm so thrilled with these adorable bunnies. They're beautifully crafted. They could be a bit heavier, but I've tied them down since they're on my patio. They're delightful, and anyone who loves metal will love these. Shipping was faster than expected. Highly recommended!
Superior quality and very fast delivery. I absolutely love the craftsmanship and detail. This is the real deal.
Lightning-fast delivery of our gorgeous cast-iron hand pump. I purchased this to help disguise and provide a decorative accent for our outdoor well cover. The cast-iron hand pump is very sturdy and gives me the pefect vintage nostaligia for our country farmhouse.

Ordering the Irish Green Heritage American Style mailbox with stand was simple, and the product details easy to understand. The mailbox arrived without the stand, but the Forge & Foundry team responded within 24hours to my ticket and expedited the mailbox stand and bolts. The mailbox itself matched the description and photos on the website, and is beautiful. The small hardware details on the mailbox are better quality than I imagined, and overall we were pleased with the experience and product that was received from this order. Installation is very straight forward, and the post is very sturdy and balanced with the mailbox (assuming you install the base properly).
