Recently I've been doing lots of architectural ironwork, but I got my start in blacksmithing as a furniture maker. For the first two years of my career, I worked as an aprentice to a furnitre designer. We made lots of reproduction antique iron furniture and chandeliers. Shortly after I opened my own shop, I made this piece for myself. It's called a demi-lune table because of it's half moon shape. The legs are steel, the apron is hammered copper and the top is distressed silver leaf on wood. Personally, I love contemporary furniture. I sold this table many years ago, but I still own the "sister" coffee table, which lives in my house to this day. I've grown rather attached to it over the years.
