Collections
What we cast.
Two families of cast iron, each engineered to a purpose — the staircase, and the fence line. Most of what we cast is custom, matched to an original or worked up from a drawing; these are the designs asked for often enough to become typicals. Every piece is cast at our foundry in Richmond, in continuous operation since 1912. Some are stocked; all can be made to your design.
Staircases
The cast-iron staircase — treads, risers, and the glow.

Don’t see it?
If it was cast before, we can cast it again.
The collections are where we start, not the limit. Bring us a drawing, a photograph, or a piece to match, and we’ll cast it to your design in iron, bronze, or aluminum.
