DETAILS
Iron Genie evokes the proud steel structures of Victorian engineering. This pervaded every aspect of the design and fabrication, from the hand-rendered technical drawings to the choice of steel, sold brass and hand-craftsmanship for its fabrication.
- All steel parts are hand-cut with a plasma-cutter and heat treated in the forge.
- The central column is finished with hand-machined solid brass finials.
- The mirror is made with palladium leaf using a gilder's technique called Verre Eglomise.
- The mirror is framed with a hand-beaten brass bezel.
- All the working parts - the fulcrum-pins, gimbal, and arm-pivots are hand-made.
- The table-top and mirror are etched zinc plates. A limited edition of prints have been taken from the plates.
