GOBERG

In 1895 Hugo Berger (Goberg) started in Schmalkalden Germany his first metal factory, were decorative ironwork was manufactured in a traditional way.

Typical of Goberg's work are the use of honest materials such as iron and brass. The manual character clearly catches the eye. His style, method and materials matched perfectly with the Arts & Crafts movement, a very popular style at that time.

In the early 20th century he became well known worldwide, due to the fact that the leading department store Liberty and associated stores, were selling much of his work.
In the Netherlands Goberg objects were sold at
Metz & Co.

In Germany these products were sold at Grau & Co
