Italian is one of the most beautiful art forging of our time. She is characterized by a special sophistication and airy look. She very much resembles frozen lace patterns. Therefore, all interior items and decorative elements made with its help turn out to be truly beautiful and refined.
The history of Italian art forging begins in the Renaissance. It was then that the masters came up with the idea of using a round curl as the main artistic element, as well as a spiral ending in leaves and flowers. Italian craftsmen have been able to reach such heights for all time that today each of their forged products resembles an incredible work of art. It is almost impossible to achieve such beauty with the help of other types of forging.
Methods of making forged products
Today two technologies of forging are used - hand forging and cold decorative. The first is the most ancient and is used for the manufacture of beautiful lamps, forged stairs and railings, floor lamps and sconces. In the process of hand-forging, master blacksmiths manually process a piece of metal, red-hot, and create original and often very complex compositions based on sketches prepared in advance. Only professional craftsmen with impressive work experience can perform manual forging.
The second technology, namely cold forging, is most often used for forging standard items - welded gates, window bars, fences, swing gates, forged fences and railings, canopies, fireplace accessories. Since it is very difficult to create original products with its help. However, Italian cold forging has a number of advantages over handcrafted items. So, it costs less money, does not require an impressive investment of time, it looks no less beautiful. Therefore, unless customers want exclusive items, they choose cold forging. Otherwise - manual.
What is better cold or exclusive Italian forging?
Exclusive forging in Italy allows you to highly appreciate this type of art, to decorate a house and a personal plot, and to decorate office premises beautifully. By means of hand forging, the master can create incredibly beautiful and unique chandeliers, beds, furniture, sculptures. Most buyers make their choice in favor of original products made according to an individual project by the skillful hands of a master. However, when you just need to decorate the gate with decorative forged products, to make visors and other outdoor products, it is better to give preference to cold forging.
