The Silverware Collection
The Silverware and Candlesticks that Brett Payne produces
are all individually hot forged, by hand, in Sterling Silver.
Traditionally Silversmiths work the metal cold but if treated with
respect and great care it can also be worked hot; the art of hot forging
silver is not much practiced today but it does have a long tradition.
Brett Payne has taken this tradition to a new level, developing the
skill of hand forging Silver to explore new applications.
Brett
Payne’s candlesticks are a synthesis of an ancient technique with
his own very original and contemporary ideas of form. His understanding
of the importance of simplicity leads to a refreshingly direct and uncomplicated
way of making that produces timeless classics.
