Art and Susan Barber, founders of Charleston Forge are passionate about making beautiful furniture in America. Not a day goes by that they don’t recognize how fortunate they are to live in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and come to work alongside true artisans who take great pride in making beautiful, handcrafted furniture. Whether they are forging hot metal or planing a solid wood tabletop, one can see and feel a “sense of hand” in every piece they make. There are no high speed production lines, as each piece is made one at a time, by hand.
