The Hampton:
Jean Tijou, a
French Master Blacksmith, operated in England at the end of the
1600's and was knighted by the Sovereign William III for his
services in the creation of Hampton Court Palace. It was the
favorite summer retreat of king Henry VIII. Recently the castle
has been restored and its current condition is very luxurious and
full of character.
In creating the
Hampton
collection we have incorporated traditional scrolls with the grape
and leaf motif capturing the history and romance of the fruit of
the vine in an ornamental design to achieve a stunning wrought
iron insert.
