As a resource site, Hammered & Hewn is dedicated to researchers & collectors of antique early 20th Century modern hand-wrought metalwork & lighting. The focus is on hammered copper & brass work from the American Arts and Crafts Movement circa 1900 to 1915. The site delves into the roots of the movement with English Arts & Crafts makers, American Art Nouveau material and handwork from Europe, specifically German Jugendstil & Secessionist work from Munich, Dresden & Darmstadt. The work represented here is considered Early Modernism, the first metalwork to break from the 19th Century design traditions.
