Tim Tate, he who knows all, introduced me to Chris Shea several weeks ago and I’ve been meaning to write about him since. Chris lives in Brandywine, MD and does architectural metalwork and furniture that’s inventive, beautifully crafted and just a bit whimsical – but not cutesy whimsical, maybe a little twisted whimsical. In the best possible way. I found him and the glass guys gathered around this amazing monumental cast bronze door pediment that Chris just made for a lucky home in Virginia. This cast bronze is not the shiny stuff you may be thinking of; it is a rich and lovely metal with a matte sheen.
