Excited to have found another small batch of rare ornate industrial gears from the turn of the century. They nicely complement the 8" iron gears from the early 20th century, so have made a few more gear duo sculptures. They've been super popular with my shoppers and get snatched up quickly. I hope you like these few more offerings.

You can check them out on my website.

Iron Anarchy recently recieved a request from a client in Texas to create an installation of industrial gears and wheels for a 4’ x 7’ space in his home. Attached is a proposed layout featuring a large central wooden gear flanked by two metal wheels with worn paint, and then assorted metal gears and wheels. An old industrial chain “ties" the elements together, while creating a strong vertical accent which moves the eye up and down the wall.

Ultra-amazing old wheel in a “stop-dead-in-your-tracks” design in extra-thick, extra-chunky iron! Curved spikes riveted to a webbed, bat-wing-like wheel. Which is cooler- the front or back? Front features both raised and incised text. Back features more bulging rivet heads and raised text. Extremely rare! Have never seen this style before. You will not find one like this again!

Excited to introduce the HLJ Sculpture Series- a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces featuring ornate cast iron factory gear wheels from the 1800s mounted onto antique buggy jack pedestals. Dynamic designs and wonderful old patinas. I love the ingenuity of old jacks, and their intricate industrial designs beg to be repurposed as art elements. Topped with a dazzling wheel, they spring back to life, allowing their form and craftsmanship to be appreciated in an all new light.

Today I received final approval on a pair of layouts I created for an architect client in Philadelphia. See main photo.

Was contacted last week by DAS Architects for an installation of antique gears and wheels in a pair of 7’ wall niches for the activity room in a new development. They sent me the niche dimensions, wall covering samples and gave me direction as to what they were looking for, so I developed a series of layouts for them within their budget. The chosen sculptures feature items from my online shop- a massive antique saw mill blade (cut in half), as well as antique and vintage iron wheels and gears. A length of old, square-link industrial chain provides a vertical accent in each piece.

Now with the design chosen, we’re moving forward with preparing the elements for mounting, then shipping them to Philadelphia for installation. So exciting!

Looking to give their home’s front walkway a bit of a Farmhouse Industrial edge, Winona and Clay purchased several gears from Iron Anarchy and set them into the existing walk’s surface, creating an interesting contrast with the gravel, while making you want to hop from gear to gear on your way to the front door!

Nice work, guys! I truly enjoyed working with you! I hope you get lots of enjoyment from your reinvented walkway. Thanks for sharing.

Mary & George’s Industrial Gear Wall Sculpture Installation
Recent clients and newest friends, Mary and George wanted to create an industrial gear focal point for their Detroit loft’s living room wall. They sent a photo of the area, and I Photoshopped some arrangements at various price points for their consideration. We then collaborated on the designs until one was chosen. Custom wall brackets were fabricated and all elements were shipped to Detroit where the wall sculpture sprang to life!

They wrote:
“From start to finish it has been great working with you - you have been professional, accommodating and had a complete understanding of the design idea we were going for. You are highly recommended!”

Great job, guys! I had an amazing time working with you too! I hope you get lots of enjoyment from the piece. Thanks for sharing.

Looking forward to discussing your industrial decor needs.

Am excited to now offer these refurbished antique industrial wheel sculptures. Photo 2 shows the typical condition these very old cast iron wheels are found in- thick, crusty rusty finishes, that although have a great look, some folks have an aversion to. So am now offering these same great old wheels, but which have been scoured to reveal a sparkling bright gun metal finish. They come with a reclaimed lumber display stand.

7 5/8" diameter.

Doris’ Industrial Gear Sculpture Decor

Antique Industrial Gear Sculpture Decor
My favorite client and newest friend, Doris was doing a small interior decor change to her living room when she purchased 3 antique iron gear sculptures from Iron Anarchy to accompany her new industrial style table lamp. She was kind enough to send photos to show how everything came together. I think the display turned out great....enough variance that it doesn't look matchy-matchy, but enough alike that they tie in with each other. Great job, Doris! Thanks for sharing.

At 72, Doris recently retired from working at her daughter’s Laguna Beach art gallery, and obviously has a great eye for design and an incredibly fresh perspective on interior design, not to mention a great attitude! I thoroughly enjoyed our online chats and look forward to meeting her one day.

Excited about this recent acquisition of this antique wooden gear. It’s the hand made model from which a foundry would then make the mold to cast them in iron. They are quite rare, since only 1 would be made, but dozens (hundreds?) of metal ones then cast. Has an amazing aged patina of colorful worn and flaking paint. Metal ID plate.

Measures 25” in diameter.
