About history of pewter

Pewter was fashioned by hammering or casting, creating two separate disciplines for creating pewter.

Pewter is so very malleable and easy to work with, due to this creating a very intricate and ornate design was made much easier with the introduction of this metal.
Pewter is a composite of metals, generally containing a mixture of tin, antimony, and copper. 

In the past, pewter contained lead, but this metal has been removed from use in recent years with increased awareness surrounding the harmful effects of lead. Modern day pewter can either be polished to a bright finish or darkened with chemical solvents to match anyone particular demands.

Because of the popularity of antique hardware, pewter is in high demand as it can be easily aged to look the part. With a wide variety of hardware options to choose from, pewter provides an antique looking option for modern cabinetry.
