Display case & bizarre containers.

Small vintage travel case transformed into a small
jewellery display. On the right a series of 2 containers
made from Bakelite electic sockets & binocular parts.

 Upcycling.
   A travel case fitted with a part of an old printers drawer, a little forged hook on the top right part of the case and linen fabric applied on isolation board so has to be abel to pin easily in it. This case and peintres drawer have founded a new fonctionality.
  The two peculiar containers  are containers that contain an other smaller container. For one an old ceramic pile case and for the other one an  antique Japanese glass flasque. Both bigger containers are assembled with parts coming from old theater binoculars and bakelite eclectric sockets with some decorative brass screws. Those objects are parts of a long series of containers in the same style.

" Présentoir "

  New " présentoir "



  For post cards & visiting cards to fit next to the casher of Salon Velasquez in Brusels. Order made " présentoir " in steel & forged steel rods, on which I applied a black patina and waxed. The object is totaly Assembled with screws. The different parts are forged rods, steel square or rectangulaire bars, a few screws & a steel plate. As usual in all the object I make, every part can be desaembled allowing to eventually reuse each part for an other purpose. Infact this time the feets of this object are " rerecycled " originally forged out of a recycle renforcent bar, I never used them for the purposes they were forged for to finally find they purpose in this object.

   

Containers

                               

Containers series.

  4 upcycled containers in brass & glass, designed to 

contain any thing . Made from parts coming from old binoculaire, screws coming from rods that were used 

to hold carpets on stairs & a picture of 1955 of a 

giraffe. 

  This series of 4 is a continuity of a long series of 

containers made mainlly from different brass &

 glass part.  The series has started with glass and 

different screws. It evoluated into the use of old brass 

electric sockets to now move on to brass binocular 

parts . They are not forged and they are not jewellery . 

How ever they could be concidered has jewellry for men.

   A unique collection of bracelets forged out of steel axels coming from antique and vintage sewing machines & a rare 18 " wide carriage steel rode coming from and vintage Remington type writer of 1922 . After collecting and unbuilding 3 very old broken sewing machines and the type writer all pieces have been recorder and each machine dated and identified. The first pictures are two bracelets forged out of parts from a Bernina 117 Suisse made in 1932, built only during 3 years it is know to be a strong machine. In did, by forging you realise the quality of the steel.

 

  This bracelets is forged out a steel axel from a german sewing machine dating between 1882 & 1914 sold under the name of Original Victoria it was a model with transverse shuttle,  serial number / 473470, The brass logo says it is a Mundlos B. firm was founded in 1863 in Magdeburg, Germany by Friedrich Heinrich Mundlos and Hermann Schulz 

  The screw that locks the bracelet here is made out of the top end of one of the steel axels found on the machine, the bracelets is forged out of one of thick the central axels of the machine . Only 4 pieces could be forged out of the parts found in the machine. 

Original Victoria 

Bracelet forged out an Original Wilson sewing machine. One pieces our of 4. 

Original Wilson / serial number 987987 / Belgium 1910 

  The Remington type writer bracelets. One piece out of a series of  4. In April 2016 I found a very peculiar type writer with an 18 " steel rode, quite large, caring number on it. It was a heavy piece, but I carried back to my atelier. After inquiry I was informed that this is a rare type writer that was used by journaliste to actually type the news paper ... Well I forged a series of bracelets out of it that still carry those numbers. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the machine. In this collection I used screws from sewing machines as they do a perfect job to lock the bracelet.

Rings

Screw rings

  

  A series of rings forged out of screws and treated as usual with green tea and waxed. There are the continuity of the forged nail rand screws rings. This time I cut of the head of the screws before forging them in order to focus on patten of the thread. Surprisingly the edges of the thread those not disturb and doesn't create any discomfort. I am working with old rostered screws, so finally each ring is different. It is at the same time difficult to gather rostered screws. Strangely it is easier to find old nail ...
