Every handcrafted piece at Gilded Mettle begins with a name.

We don't just upcycle materials; we reclaim the legacies of the people who owned them first. Whether it's a vintage quilt that once warmed a family or a glass tray that served decades of celebrations, these items carry a 'mettle' that time cannot erase. We honor this history by 'gilding' it with various techniques that give the items a modern flair. The result is a bridge between generations: a quirky, upscale tribute that ensures the names and stories of the original owners are never forgotten, but instead, shine brighter than ever before.


As we search for materials for our craft, we often find high-quality items that are too valuable to upcycle. Gilded Mettle seeks to connect these items with new owners who will value them and give them a new home for generations to come.
