For the past twenty years or so, there has been a growing interest in the American Arts and Crafts movement.  Since the reintroduction of Mission furniture and the infamous auctions that seem to continually break records, the search for authentic Arts and Crafts items is on the rise.  Those of you who follow the trends realize it is getting harder and harder to find quality, authentic items to accessorize your Arts and Crafts décor.  This site focuses on the metal work done in the Syracuse area around the turn of the century.

            Collecting art metal, particularly hammered copper is a great and fulfilling past time.  In recent years with the invention of the internet and auction sites such as eBay, it has become increasingly easier to locate these items, although the competition is growing.
