BEHIND THE CRAFT
Metalsmithing

India’s metalworking skills are unparalleled, and their expertise in steel and iron working has been passed down through generations. In northern India, the local markets are filled with beautiful pieces that are hand-forged using just metal, with delicate patterns and scroll work.

The Process

The process begins by heating the metal in a forge until it transitions from red to orange and finally to white-hot. Once the metal reaches the right temperature, the artisan shapes it using traditional tools: hammers and chisels. This hands-on approach allows for the creation of stunning designs and pieces, each reflecting the deep connection between the maker and the finished product. At Wilstone, we celebrate this timeless craftsmanship by bringing you skilfully handcrafted metalwork.
