Customer satisfaction is of the utmost importance, and exceeding your expectations is our goal. Most custom orders start with a simple email or phone call discussing your needs and the theme you are striving for. This conversation will begin the creative process and generate many ideas for your one-of-a kind piece. Pictures are a great way to communicate and illustrate your needs, which will save time during the design process. After the initial sketches are sent to you, Metal Design will work with you until you are completely satisfied. Once we have your approval and deposit, your project will begin in the order of which it was received.

One of the most exciting features here at Metal Design is our collaboration and friendship with Anchor Bend Glass, located in Newport, RI. Anchor Bend Glassworks produces exceptional hand blown glass for Metal Design. Their quality and craftsmanship compliments the unique pieces created here at Metal Design. By combining the two mediums of copper and hand blown glass, Metal Design produces extraordinary pieces like no other. An example of this exclusive collaboration is our Propeller Lamp, shown with Anchor Bend Glassworks’ “scalloped” shade.

Stained plate glass
Metal Design cuts each piece of stained glass in-house for each order received. This gives our customers many different options to create the desired ambiance. Featured pieces include- the Ring Lamp, shown with a white and amber-swirled stained glass. A deep brown and gold-swirled stained glass can be seen with our Study Lamp. Of course, clear and opaque glass is available as well. Please call for specific colors not listed here, we are happy to accommodate your needs.

Mica
Metal Design also uses mica in our lamp shades. This detail bestows an old world look, and emits a pleasant glow throughout the room. A great example of this can be seen with the Starburst Lamp. One of the best features when working with mica is that it can be shaped and contoured to fit a specific radius.]]> home http://www.metaldesignvt.com/index.php?itemid=4 Mon, 25 Apr 2005 11:10:17 +0000 <![CDATA[Copper Finishes ]]> http://www.metaldesignvt.com/index.php?itemid=3 Metal Design offers several different finishes: a light, medium, or dark antique finish, a tiffany green or mint green patina, or a powder blue finish (other finishes are available upon request). These finishes are skillfully applied by hand and can react in varied ways. This results in a distinctive finish for every piece, creating a one of a kind work of art.

The following are some examples of the finishes and textures that we offer.

































For a natural finish, the copper will react depending on the environmental conditions it is exposed to, such as extensive moisture or coastal air conditions. This natural reaction adds to the allure and individuality of Metal Design's finished product. Each piece will take on its own personality once it settles into its new home.

If you would like Metal Design to apply one of our finishes to your favorite copper or brass piece, contact us and we can discuss your options.
