1996
Humble Beginnings
The ‘From the Anvil’ journey began in 1996 when ex-metal-work teacher and joiner Mark Underhill bought a small business called MF Supplies. Mark and his wife Bernadette started to sell ironmongery and fixings to joiners and builders from their family home in a small village in Mid-Wales. In 1998, not content with the current product choice, Mark designed his own range of traditional, handmade ironmongery. These products were made from solid steel, and hand forged on an Anvil to give them unrivalled strength and a wealth of character.
2000
The Launch of Anvil
In 2000, the 'From the Anvil' brand was launched with around fifty handmade products. Soon, the business outgrew the small garage in Dolau and was moved to a unit in the small town of Llandrindod Wells.

From The Anvil extended their range of handmade hardware and in 2002, when they reached 250 products, they started selling through a network of stockists. Today, we're proud to be the largest exclusive From The Anvil stockist in the UK.

Bespoke Pendant Lighting
From The Anvil's premises continued to grow and this additional space enabled them to embark on creating custom pendant lighting. These pendants are manufactured from the same high-quality metals that From The Anvil is known for and are hand-finished in Mid-Wales. Because each pendant is made-to-order, these lights are completely bespoke and can be coated in any colour desired.
