Projects
The Creation of a Licensed
Product
Salisbury
Pewter has re-created the Newport Cuff
Bracelet! This exquisite bracelet,
formerly interpreted in silver, will be cast in
polished pewter. Using the graceful,
interlaced scroll design based
on the back splat of a side chair in
the Winterthur collection, a craftsman
produced the production model. The Winterthur
mark was hand-engraved into the underside of the
model. The production model is then used to create
the mold.
The bracelet will be available for sale
through stores in early November.
