Workmanship
Enclume products combine traditions of skilled metal crafting and close attention to detail to create pot racks and related products such as fireplace accessories of lasting value.
While their craftsmen employ time-honored French metal-forming equipment, all key fabrication steps are performed by hand. Enclumes best-selling rack, containing six major components, requires over sixty handling steps to complete. This process of multiple touches assures the superior quality that shows in Enclumes work.
Enclumes craftsmen take pride in the personal touch they apply to creating products. Their job is not one of an assembly line. Their products take close attention to produce and are completed in small lots of 30 to 60. And along the way virtually every component needs a tweak or modification to match the design. This represents the efforts of skilled humans, not machines.
Enclume Materials
Flat bar steel is the raw material underpinning Enclume's business.
To begin, they purchase the best hot-rolled steel available from the largest and most consistent mill to provide the backbone for all hammered steel products. This material is ideally-suited for the transformation they accomplish to reveal the rich, distressed look of a signature finish.
Next, Enclume pioneered shaping stainless steel into cookware racks. And continued on with a variety of stainless products, all crafted from the finest 304 material on the market. And today their process for brushing stainless bar to a uniform satin finish has improved to near perfection.
