Introduction - Artisans of the Valley, based in Pennington, NJ, is an exclusive custom furniture, cabinetry, carving, and restoration shop. These craftsmen are the last of the traditional apprenticeship method of passing on the skills of furniture design, joynery, carving, and finishing. We offer our custom furniture by commission, and we hand sign and date each piece upon completion. For over 35 years Master Craftsman Stanley D. Saperstein has perfected his skills and in the process passed these skills to his son Eric. Eric has now taken the reins of the business, studio, and the title of Master Craftsman. Artisans offers heirloom quality hand rubbed shellac and tung oil finishes as well as hand painted options on any of our pieces. In addition, modern finishes are available through our affiliates including the full spectrum of lacquers, acrylics, and urethanes. Artisans of the Valley is the last of the true conservation studios in New Jersey, providing museum quality restorations, refinishing, repair, and preservation services. Artisans will evaluate your antiques and collectables to determine the best options for your cherished possessions. Artisans is one of the few remaining restoration studios that can handle restoring a true shellac finish and provide the skills necessary to replace or restore damaged ball and claw feet, detailed carvings, and veneer. Bent on educating our clients, Artisans offers a tactical theory on restoration entitled The Philosophy of Restoration. This article outlines the concepts associated with restoration, and helps dispense the myth surrounding antiques and their care. Artisans restoration services are not limited to furniture; we handles military artifacts such as firearms, swords, and leather goods. We are the only conservation studio restoring antique and collectable chess sets; bragging rights include several the famous Jaques of London first 300 Staunton series sets. As a new venture for 2008, Artisans is partnering with Klise Manufacturing of Grand Rapids Michigan to carry a full line of architectural products to compliment our custom commissions and restorations. This line consists of over 5,000 products that combined provide an amazing array of choices to complete your projects. Artisans provides services for commissions, restoration, carving, and design to residential & commercial clients, design firms, and architects. Please contact us to discuss the specifics of your project. Eric M. Saperstein Master Craftsman

Klise metalwork. Woven Wire Meshes

Formed Wire Grilles

Custom Metal Fabrications

We also do metal in detail.

Sometimes, the final piece of the perfect design

is incredibly detailed and elaborate. Other times,

its much simpler and elegant. Having experience

with bothand everything in betweenwere

here to create the wire or metal piece that you

desire to distinguish your furniture or cabinetry

design.

When youre developing your next design,

consider customizing either an innovative or

classically decorative piece of woven wire mesh,

formed wire grille or custom metal fabrication

from Kliseproviding the perfect finishing

detail.

Ordering information.To place an order or request a quotation, please supply the

following information:

Pattern number (style)

Mesh opening size(s), wire-to-wire, center to center

Direction of pattern (i.e. diamond, square, etc.)

Wire size & style (round, square, flat, plain, reeded)

Electroplating and finishing effect

Number of pieces and their size(s)

Pattern repeat if needed

Rosettes, cones, or clips & positioning

Frame width, if applicable

Rabbet width, if applicable

Submit sketch or drawing for clarification if necessary

For Style #600 or other custom designed grilles, a detailed

drawing is required, showing all dimensions, number of pattern

repeats across the piece(s), and rosette placement, if required.

Installation information.Our wire mesh grilles are hand-woven to customer specifications

for wire size and shape, finish, mesh size, and overall size and

shape. Wire meshes are not welded, but are held together by the

interlocking effect of weaving. As a result, the nature of the grille

is to be somewhat flexible, and during shipping and handling

the grille is likely to change shape somewhat and may appear

to be the wrong size. However, by compressing or scissoring the

grille you will notice that the length and width will change.

Tolerances for unframed grilles are 0", +1/8" in width and

0", +1/4" in length. Tolerances for metal framed grilles are 0",

+1/8" for both length and width. Rosettes, if ordered, are tack-

welded to the grille, which has the side effect of freezing the

grille to a fixed shape. Please design grille mounting enclosures

with these tolerances and effects in mind, as framed grilles and

grilles with Rosettes are not adjustable.

Exact color matches cannot be guaranteed. Color variations

within an order should be minimal, but from one order to the

next or from a sample to a production order there may be

slight variations. If matching is critical, you may want to order

unfinished grilles, and have them plated locally, where you can

inspect them before acceptance.

For proper installation you should extend the length by

compressing the width slightly with a scissoring motion, making

the grille slightly narrower than necessary to place in the opening.

Allow (or help with the scissoring motion) the grille to return to

the full width of the opening and be sure it is centered over the

length of the opening. There may be a slight amount of excess

grille at each end along the length. This is due to slight variations

that occur during both the process of cabinet manufacturing and

the assembly of woven wire mesh grilles. Any excess can be

removed by cutting the wire ends. Be careful to remove an equal

amount from both ends in order to retain the symmetry of the

grille within the opening.

If you have any further questions, please contact the Klise

Sales Department at 616-459-4283.

Rosettes and cones.Rosettes and cones are the perfect addition to make your grille unique. These items are available in any electroplating and finishing effects. Other styles and types are available for special order. (Shown in Brass)

Standard materials.Steel wire is the most commonly used and is used unless otherwise requested. If specified, tempered brass wire can be substituted to resist denting and for permanency of configuration.

Standard finishes.

Standard electroplating options are Brass, Copper

and Steel. Chrome, Nickel, Pewter and Bronze are

also available.

Standard finishing effects include Antique, Satin

and Bright, with special finishes and glazing effects

also available to fulfill design requirements.

For most grilles, plain steel or brass wire is crimped

as needed, hand-woven to customer specifications,

and then electroplated. Grilles are then electro-

oxidized for antique effects and rubbed. Finally, a

high grade lacquer spray coating is applied for a

more durable finish.

Plain steel or solid brass wire grilles without

electroplating or finishing effects are also

available.

Maximum piece size for plating is 48" x 72".

Electroplating and finishing effects are not

guaranteed to match from one run to another.

Illustrated here are the three basic wire-crimps

usually used in mesh weave configurationssingle,

press and double crimped. Klise grilles can be

supplied with special attaching provisions such as

nail holes, matching metal frames or mounting tabs.

(Special attaching provisions are not generally

recommended on woven meshes.) A drawing or

simple sketch will be helpful in showing required

details.
