Charleston Forge

Charleston Forge stands out not simply as a furniture maker, but as a craftsman-driven studio that combines traditional blacksmithing, woodworking, and high-quality materials to produce furniture that’s as much art as utility. Because every piece is made by hand, to order, in the U.S., there’s a level of care, individuality, and durability. Whether you need a robust dining table, a glass-topped occasional table, a custom console, or upholstered seating with steel frame — Charleston Forge offers a wide catalog, plus flexibility and a commitment to quality that fits well for someone who wants furniture built to last decades or even generations.

More About Charleston Forge

Materials, Construction and Craftsmanship: The backbone of Charleston Forge furniture is hand-forged steel: each piece begins with a steel base created by traditional blacksmithing or metal-working techniques — welding, forging, shaping under heat, and hand finishing.

On top of that metal base, many pieces are topped with solid wood or specialty glass or stone — depending on the piece and the customer’s choice.

Upholstered pieces use high-quality fabrics or leathers, chosen to match design, comfort, and longevity — also customizable.

Finishes: The steel frames are often powder-coated, which provides a durable, long-lasting finish that resists chipping and wear more than typical paint.

Because everything is made to order, customization is a big part of the production: you can often specify wood type, finish, upholstery, size — meaning two pieces may share a design but still be unique.
