Concentric forms turned to a micron's tolerance. Reeded surfaces cut in perfect repeat. The romance of the foundry, made exact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Forge Collection takes its vocabulary from that period. A reeded beehive knob on a stepped concentric backplate. A reeded cup pull. A tapered bar drop handle on stepped plinths. Crisp geometry, machine-finished where Guild is hand-finished — the opposite manufacturing posture from the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft. Where Guild celebrates the hand, Forge celebrates the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree pieces — knob, cup pull, drop handle — sand-cast in solid Birmingham brass and then lathed to a micron's tolerance. Three finishes: Polished Unlacquered, Aged, and Satin Brass. Every piece carries a maker's mark — for Forge, a small crossed hammer and tongs in place of the Guild rose. The smith's mark, not the silversmith's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Forge Collection is the third of three Winfield \u0026amp; Turner vocabularies. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-founders-collection\"\u003eFounders\u003c\/a\u003e opens the trilogy in the Georgian tradition of 1740. \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/the-guild-collection\"\u003eGuild\u003c\/a\u003e sits between in the Arts \u0026amp; Crafts tradition of 1890.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeld in stock at the workshop.
