Custom bird motif architectural hardware from Martin Pierce

Do any of you remember the tongue in cheek Youtube video from a few years ago titled "Put a bird on it"?  It was in response to the trend at the time of putting bird motifs on everything from wallpaper, fabrics, pillows, home accessories and even personal items like jewelry and handbags.  Well, when it comes to design we cannot leave out hardware!

Throughout the years Martin has carved many different birds for custom orders.  We have spoken often about the bird designs we offer in our collection of architectural hardware and recently we shared the swallow pull that was inspired by the migrating birds of San Juan Capistrano.  But we also offer other bird designs as seen below.

This beautifully detailed woodpecker door knocker provides an elegant way for your guests to announce their presence.

Bird motif hardware would be right at home in many different retail and hospitality establishments or perhaps your client's logo includes a bird.  We designed this stylized Hawaiian bird knob for a hospitality project in Hawaii.

Our 100th post and we are in the mood to celebrate!

Time to celebrate for this is our 100th post!  We have enjoyed sharing new products, design ideas and trade information to all of our followers and look forward to the next 100! As our way of saying thanks we would like to offer one of our swallow pulls to the next person who "likes" our new business facebook page on July 31st.

If you are from southern California then you are very familiar with these little birds.  They return to the mission at San Juan Capistrano every spring to build their unique mud nests in the openings found in the spanish tile roof of the mission.  They hatch their babies, teach them to fly and then depart the area in October, only to return again the next year and begin the process over.

This highly detailed pull is cast in solid bronze with a dark antique finish and will add a distinctive touch to any cabinet, closet door or desk drawer in your home or office.  In the photo below you can see how beautiful it looks on the toy chest, a special gift to a first grandson,  that also features japanned swallows in the sky.  So head on over to our facebook page and join the conversation.
