Custom Historic Bronze Hinge
This is a replication of the historic custom hinges that were original to NYS Capitol. The patterns for both the finials and back plates are hand carved. The components are replicated by using the lost wax casting process. The actual hinge leaves are sand cast and all components are machined and hand chased.
