Scales, Periods, Types of Furniture Made
We primarily work in 1/12th scale and our furniture is made with exotic hardwoods and Corian (an acrylic material). Our chandeliers, sconces and lights are electrified and made with 24k gold plated findings and Swarovski crystals. The furniture is our own design and constructed of metal and also a new technique of fusing bronze with an oxygen acetylene torch. This is our Enchanted Forest Collection. Our copperware miniatures are solid copper, brass and some are tinned on the inside. Knives are carbon steel with cherry wood handles. We are known for our Baker's racks, pot racks, wine racks in many styles and sizes.
What Makes These Pieces Unique
The Enchanted Forest Collection consists of the only miniatures that are a one of a kind in bronze and not castings. They are very unique and are made by me with an oxygen acetylene torch. Jacqueline and I have come from an art background and have been making and selling our miniatures for more than 35 years. We also had promoted a Spring and Fall miniature show with some of the top miniaturists in Michigan for 30 years. We have now devoted our energies to making and selling our miniatures.
