These hand-crafted windchimes are created from antique and vintage silverplate & silverplated flatware by artists in eastern North Carolina.
The silverware is purchased at flea markets, thrift stores and auctions. To keep our prices reasonable, we purchase the silverware that is so heavily tarnished that is almost unrecognizable as silverplate. We work hard to polish the silverware to the high quality shine that you see in the items' pictures.
We try to only use pieces that are in good condition. However, the activities of the past are reflected in each piece. Any slight flaws in the silverware only add to the charm.
As you will see, the chimes are very unique. Due to the many patterns of flatware produced over the years, it is very unlikely that any two of our chimes will ever be the same.
The design of the chimes ensures that only a slight breeze is needed. Some say that the chimes remind them of church bells ringing.
These beautiful chimes will make a great conversation piece or a thoughtful gift (or, just spoil yourself!)
