One look and I was smitten. Based in Charleston, SC since 1980, they offer a range of beautiful pieces and not only can customize to meet your needs but can also create one of a kind, hand forged works. Here are just a few of their classic, timeless designs that I think could be at home in a historic house or brand new construction. What is also so impressive are the 24 gorgeous finishes! (I plan to give them a ring tomorrow to find out more - but impatient me had to post this right away) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3B1FrU03PEZlHFoooIBYOQRBBAjcpn1myEjSNWIjPauAcmgmf8t50NsThZK-G1jjsOl9hMfL5mlOEv3UJVvFEuILBcuEK4lVfUJaKYYplMG1qpFkvvQdpj3SNHCMJFKgA-pwwAYWEhNk/s1600-h/avrettmarion.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5184024491135451330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3B1FrU03PEZlHFoooIBYOQRBBAjcpn1myEjSNWIjPauAcmgmf8t50NsThZK-G1jjsOl9hMfL5mlOEv3UJVvFEuILBcuEK4lVfUJaKYYplMG1qpFkvvQdpj3SNHCMJFKgA-pwwAYWEhNk/s800/avrettmarion.jpg" style="DISPLAY: block;
