The making of a pewter top bar

The work of pewter

We receive pewter in ingots that we melt in a boiler. We pour it in a mold that we put in shape over a wood frame (CP 30mm or 2x18mm).

For the edge profiles, we pour pewter in vintage steel molds (1870-1930) for the majority, we also have more contemporary and modern creations.

Plates and Edge Profiles are then welded together then grated, filed, shaved in a handcrafted and traditional way.
