Baldwin
Forged Solid Brass · Reading, Pennsylvania · Est. 1946
Founded in 1946 by Severin Fayerman in Reading, Pennsylvania, Baldwin was built on the belief that the most enduring design lives in the details. For 80 years the brand has set the standard in luxury door hardware, distinguished by its signature hot-forged solid brass — engineered for substantial weight and strength, then hand-finished to age beautifully over a lifetime of daily use.
The Art of Forged Brass
Skilled artisans transform raw brass through heat forging — an age-old technique that yields denser, stronger, heavier pieces than casting or stamping. Each billet is cut, forged in a specialized die, trimmed, ground and polished in two stages to a lasting shine. Solid brass naturally resists corrosion, so the hardware holds its shape and finish far longer than plated or hollow-cast alternatives.
