Candlesticks for the Best Dressed Tables

Written by Juliet Fishenden
Atmosphere isn’t only the air that we breathe (but we are still very thankful for that). It’s also the mood you make tangible in your home when entertaining friends. There is nothing kinder to complexions, visually warmer or welcoming than candlelight. While the only practical light before the invention of electricity, it’s since become...

Interior Designer Jane McIntyre – and Made by the Forge Part 2

Written by Juliet Fishenden
In the second part of our blog on Interior designer Jane McIntyre, Jane tells us how she works with Made by the Forge’s curtain poles. “Often a whole room is schemed around a curtain fabric so what you hang then on them is very important. There was a time when large, grand windows demanded...

21st Century Blacksmiths

Written by Juliet Fishenden
All of us in the U.K. have lived with wrought iron for most of our lives. It’s found everywhere. Ancient ironwork smashed into pleasing shapes, structures and intricate patterns is still with us, the march of time barely giving it a second glance. Wrought iron hangs up our bread boards, stores our wine, clads our...
