Classic Styling and Solid Wrought Iron Construction: We are the sole source for old English fireplace benches (18th & 19th century) made with materials and craftsmanship similar as for the originals.

 

Customer Testimonial: Talk direct with our customers.  

 

Custom Design and Perfect Fit: With one of our network interior designs and retail fireplace professionals you'll have someone with whom to discuss design, model choice, placement and fit. They'll help in leather/fabric selection, measurements and photographs. In collaboration we'll create a very custom and personal club fender to complement your interior design.  

 

Fast Delivery and Personal Set-up: We'll personally deliver and set up your club fender 3 to 4 weeks from the order start date. From CT we deliver to Washington DC/VA to lower Maine to Ohio. We’ll install it on your hearth; this is often a two person effort because our benches are much sturdier and heavier compared to the tubular metal benches made in England today. An imported bench custom sized take months for delivery.   

 

Made in Connecticut: Old English Fireplace Benches are 100% CT labor and virtually all US sourced materials. We offer a much broader selection of leather upholstery, finishing and design options than the English companies. 

 

USA Expansion: Club Fenders.us will be adding iron forge operations in Southeast and Southwest to provide lower transport costs, personal delivery and set-up. Regardless of where you are, inquire and we will work with you. 

 

Advantages in Design: Our customers (homeowners and interior designers) have much greater control over custom design features in comparison to dealing with English manufacturers. The artisan aspects of our projects are leveraged by easy collaboration and frequent communication. 

 

Investment Value & Lower Price: Even our “Signature Category” fender will be less than the FOB price of the English imports. Plus you’ll have to add substantial trans-Atlantic delivery costs for imports; this can easily exceed an extra $1,000. More importantly, by our being local and working in iron, we assure perfect fit, custom design features and better after-sale service.  

 

After-Sale Service: With forged iron construction there’s not much that can go wrong that we cannot resolve easily, whereas with the imports their nut & bolt assembly can become loose and wobbly and you’ll have to deal with tarnishing of brass fenders. You’ll appreciate dealing locally with a designer of our network whenever a design idea or fit issue needs addressing.  

 

USA Payments: we accept checks in installments as we progress in making your club fender. The last 30% is typically due after set-up and your personal approval. For imports from England you'll have to make payment in-advance and limited payment recourse.

 

BloPoke & Accessories: We also offer the Original BloPoke and from the forge we offer custom fireplace screens, tools, andirons, log holders, etc.
