The Iron Rail Bed

Living Room Furniture

American History. Enduring Craftsmanship.

Some pieces of furniture are built for a home. Others bring history into it.

The Civil War Heritage Fireplace Console is handcrafted using authentic reclaimed barnwood from Missouri, dating to the Civil War era. Rich with weathered textures, distinctive grain patterns, and the unmistakable character of aged timber, this remarkable wood carries a story more than a century and a half in the making.

At the heart of the design are hand-forged steel fireplace doors, individually crafted by artist and owner Paul Shepherd. The contrast between the historic wood and dark steel creates an architectural statement that is both rugged and sophisticated.

Thoughtfully designed with surrounding cabinetry for storage and a substantial upper surface, this piece serves as a distinctive focal point for a great room, mountain retreat, or luxury Western residence.

Every detail celebrates the beauty of authentic materials and traditional craftsmanship. Dimensions, finishes, cabinetry, and design elements can be customized to complement your home.

Handcrafted by Forged Elegance in Central Oregon, where historic materials are transformed into extraordinary furnishings.
