A Modern Interpretation of Early American Styles

from April 2023 Market Catalog Supplement

Craft & Forge is a Colonial Williamsburg brand that celebrates artisans of the past by making historically inspired, heirloom-worthy products with people who share our passion.

The brand takes inspiration from the skilled makers of The Colonial Williamsburg Historic Trades Program, who continue to use tradition- al techniques and tools, inspiring younger generations to research, preserve, and practice increasingly rare trades from the past.

The new Craft & Forge pieces by Charleston Forge honor designs and techniques of the past while offering handsome pieces that are comfortable and livable.

The Frontier Collection

During a time of great expansion, frontier settlers needed the right tools in this uncharted land. The long rifle, a distinctly American innovation, was needed for hunting, and legendarily helped win the Revolution. Much more accurate than a musket, the long rifle was a key component of our victory and serves as a symbol of American ingenuity and craftsmanship.

The Frontier Collection was inspired by the process by which rifle barrels were made by hand. The gunsmith forged a flat wrought iron bar into a tube, then forge-welded the seam, producing the hole that was bored out smooth and then rifled.
