Solid brass-synonymous with Wildwood quality. All Wildwood brass lamps are solid brass. No plated metal is every used. Some are hand hammered from broad sheets while others are cast from molten brass in individual sand molds. Together they express a wide range of moods and styles. Most are at home with traditional or contemporary decor. There are unadorned vases and urns, elegant in their simplicity. Others have intricate detail, engraved or cast in relief. Then there are pieces of unusual interest including authentic reproductions.
Regardless of the style or design, each has the warm glow of the hand rubbed Wildwood antique finish. Each receives many hand rubbings which virtually duplicate the look of antique brass that has been faithfully polished year after year. Thus, the truly "individual" Wildwood character is imparted to every lamp.
Made in the 18th century and still in use, 200 years later ... this is the look and feel of Wildwood brass. Each classic brass design is either hand hammered from sheets, cast in sand molds, or formed by hand joining and soldering of intricately cut and bent portions of brass, exactly as the original was made. The skillful hands of the poeple at Wildwood color, rub polish and lacquer the brass, achieving the look of a genuine 18th century antique.
