Brake Formed Metal Ornamentation

Michigan Ornamental specializes in recreating the elegant brake-formed metal ornamentation found on many early 20th century buildings. Our craftsmen fabricated each piece using only metal hand brake machines.

We manufacture brake-formed pieces in copper, lead-coated copper, aluminum, stainless steel, and zinc. We can create pieces from original samples or to specification from your drawings.
