Kalvė Ramonas

Ironwork made the slow way, at a coal forge in Kaunas Old Town.

We are a two-person family smithy making door hardware, railings, fireplace tools and restoration pieces for old houses. Every piece is drawn out, bent and finished by hand.

What we make

Door & gate hardware

Strap hinges, latches, thumb-latches and pulls, forged to match the door rather than the catalogue.

Made to order, 3–6 weeks

Fireplace sets

Pokers, tongs, log holders and grates with twisted or hammered finishes.

Small stock in the workshop

Restoration

Copies of missing balusters, brackets and window guards for listed buildings in the old town.

Quoted per project

From the workshop

This autumn we finished a set of twelve window guards for a 19th-century house near the river, copied from the two surviving originals. The scroll pattern took longer to work out than to forge.

The workshop is open to visitors on Saturdays. See Visit for details.
