Brooks Maintain Traditional Ironwork Style
14 December 2018One of our long established conservation clients asked us to replicate a ‘C’ scroll from free issue real ‘wrought iron’ for a restoration project they were working on in Liverpool.
Using an original sample supplied by the client, we produced special tooling that enabled us to recreate the scroll where the ends had to be tapered and then tightly wrapped in on themselves without altering the actual width of the finished product.
All the items had to have the same dimensions throughout the production run to maintain consistency and the special tooling we produced enabled us to achieve this yet retain the appearance and feel of a traditional blacksmith’s work at a fraction of the cost.
The client was pleased with the result, and the time it took to produce the consignment compared to how long it would have taken if they were all completed by hand.
