About

A small shop
in Central Virginia.

Ursus Iron is a custom metal shop run by Daniel. Most of what we make is ornamental and architectural. Railings, staircases, gates, and custom fabrication for architects, designers, and homeowners.

The shop

Who's in the shop.

Ursus Iron is a small shop focused on custom architectural and ornamental metalwork. Every piece is drawn, forged, welded, and finished in-house.

Daniel runs the shop and does most of the work at the anvil, the welder, and the mill. His clients are architects, designers, and homeowners who want the ironwork on a project to be the thing that gets noticed for the right reasons.

How the shop runs

A few working principles.

01

Drawn before it's built.

Every project gets a shop drawing. Nothing important gets figured out at install time.

02

Made and installed by the same hands.

The people who fabricate it are the people who install it.

03

Materials named plainly.

316L or 304, forged mild or cold-rolled, cast iron or wrought. What's in the piece is on the spec.

04

One point of contact.

You talk to Daniel from the first call through install. No account managers, no handoffs.

Working together

If this reads like the shop you'd want on the job, call.

Whether it's a spec you're finalizing or a piece you've been trying to source, glad to talk.
