5 out of 5 starsThis piece is absolutely beautiful. I wanted a Christmas ornament with a more Biblically accurate depiction of an angel, so I’ve hung it on my tree. Gorgeous

About AncientArtisans
History with Style
Totally clueless I backed into jewelry making over 35 years ago. Most of my designs are replicas of actual objects in museums. I hand carve each model in wax or clay keeping all the flaws and wear marks that give each original their own unique personality.
I've worked from my live/work store front in the East Village since 1979. It's a really tiny shop but I have a huge front window which makes all the difference when living small.
I've done commission and sold to many museum shops over the years including The Museum of Fine Arts Boston, The New York Public Library and Cooper-Hewitt Museum of Design among others. Sold to lots of Irish shops too, but sadly most have closed which is what prompted me to open my Etsy shop. I'm so glad I did!
Please follow Ancient Artisans on FaceBook. If you would like a monthly update you can join the email list at www.AncientArtisans.com Both Etsy and regular sites are always in progress so will have new work added all the time.
Thanks for reading all the way to the bottom and hope you like my work, Peggy

Gay Casting has been closed for over 15 years now. For 20 years they cast the pewter production designs you see in my shop. I will always be grateful to Louis Velazques a wonderful man who mentored me all through my business career.
