How it Started

Our family-owned business started in 1977 with Minuteman International, making accessories for fireplaces and woodstoves. In 1994, we introduced fine wrought-iron pieces for the home and garden. Our in-house design team combines varied expertise- mechanical engineering, architecture, fine art, sculpture, and metallurgy, to create, develop and prototype our products.

Everything is hand-made to our specifications with our oversight, using various techniques and materials in our partner workshops in India. We are based in Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Our company has grown steadily over the years, and we have all worked hard to build a reputation for beautiful quality products.

We hope you will enjoy!
