at the anvil.
Fenhoff Ironworks is a single-smith shop in Greeneville, Tennessee — sculptural and architectural iron, hand-forged at the coal fire and detailed to the building it lives in. Holden trained in Historic Ironwork at the American College of the Building Arts. The shop works in two directions: reproducing and preserving historic pieces, and forging new commissions for contemporary work.
The piece in your hands was forged on a Thursday afternoon. The stair railing two rooms over took a whole season. Same fire. Same hammer. Same hand. If you’ve got a real project — a stair to be railed, a hearth to be screened, a gate to be hung, a chandelier to be lit — the forge works at that scale too.
“I’ve been at this anvil since I was eight. What matters to me now is iron that belongs to a building — historic or new — like it grew there.”
