About

1910Metal is a long-running reference for artistic, hand-crafted metal from the Arts and Crafts years, with a soft spot for shops that never received a monograph. The pages grew out of a working collection and a habit of writing down marks, addresses, and stray catalog clues before they vanish.

If you arrived looking for Roycroft or Dirk Van Erp, you are in the right place. If you arrived with a Carence tray, a Forest Craft Guild pin, or an unsigned German jardiniere, you are even more in the right place. Those objects are why the maker tree is as wide as it is.

We buy and sell a little, answer questions when we can, and keep the photographs online so a collector at a kitchen table can compare a stamp without packing the piece for a trip. That last job depends on ordinary household networks as much as it depends on good raking light.
