Fine Old World Hand Engraving
This is truly a “lost art”. With each passing year, there are fewer of us offering this type of fine hand engraving. It started with the ancients painting and then carving onto the walls of their caves. In later centuries the European nobility employed thousands of hand engravers to adorn their precious metal cups, steins, and utensils. Their tools of war were adorned with some elaborate hand engraving. Their jewelry was all elaborately engraved. The Asians, Greeks, and Persians all had fine hand engravers at work.
I hand engrave on fine watches, rings, necklaces, and bracelets. I also hand engrave on guns, knives, and specialty pieces. I once was commissioned to hand engrave a name on a sterling carafe that was buried on a family plantation since the civil war. I was thrilled to add the name of a son to the list of names hand engraved over a century ago on this irreplaceable item.
