A rare pair of painted wrought iron panels fabricated by Slayman Forge in 1995 and finished by Valley Craftsmen as part of a larger custom commission for a Washington, D.C. philanthropist. The design centers on an urn overflowing with stylized flowers, rendered in warm gold and umber tones that evoke Italian decorative painting. The forged scrollwork frames each panel with graceful symmetry and hand-wrought precision.
Originally conceived as twin headboards, these read today as architectural decorative panels—versatile and sculptural. Their proportions and craftsmanship make them ideal for use as:
• A joined king headboard (a metalworker can easily unite them)
• A daybed on a covered porch
• Garden gates or entry panels with a protective sealer
• Wall-mounted decorative fragments indoors or out
Each panel bears the Slayman Forge stamp, confirming its workshop origin. The painted finish by Valley Craftsmen shows subtle age and warmth, enhancing the Italianate character.
