Atelie – Kovachnica Linkov

Wrought Iron Atelier – Linkov Forge.

Hello, my name is Lyubomir Linkov. I have been working with wrought iron for more than 15 years, and since the end of 2008 I have been a member of the National Crafts Chamber – Sofia, holding a “Master Certificate” for the creation of wrought iron products. I specialize in handcrafted boutique items such as: wrought iron beds, wrought iron mirrors handmade wrought iron candle holders wrought iron tables, wrought iron chairs wrought iron chandeliers, wrought iron candle stands home accessories from wrought iron, wrought iron napkin holders art pieces from wrought iron, wrought iron metal sculptures wrought iron gates, wrought iron fireplace tools

In my work I combine both traditional and modern techniques of wrought iron craftsmanship.

Every item made of wrought iron is unique, as no second identical piece is ever created.

This means that every owner of our wrought iron products can be certain they possess something unique, handcrafted in Bulgaria specifically for the client.

We create wrought iron products based on your project, sketch, photo, drawing, or our own design, striving for every element to be perfectly crafted so that the final product has a complete and refined appearance — because we follow the principle that beauty lies in the details!

Atelier for Wrought Iron Products

Atelier – Linkov Forge is one of the few remaining authentic forges in Bulgaria, and specifically in Sofia they can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Here everything is crafted the way it was done many years ago — by hand — using only a hammer, anvil, and forge fire, allowing the blacksmith to connect with the iron and breathe life into it.

The process of creating wrought iron using the classical method, compared to products made from prefabricated elements, is much more labor‑intensive and time‑consuming, because every element is hand‑forged to the required shape and size.

Every project has its own specifics such as style, dimensions, and proportions, which cannot be accounted for in mass production.

In Bulgaria, most companies offering wrought iron do not have a blacksmith and use ready‑made (machine‑produced, mass‑manufactured) Turkish or Romanian elements that only resemble wrought iron.

In this regard, I can say that there are no cheap and high‑quality products.

• Every price reduction comes at the expense of quality.
• We do not produce identical items on a conveyor.
• Every product we create from wrought iron is unique and one‑of‑a‑kind in Bulgaria.
