Quotes from Clients and Publications
“artist Glenn Gilmore has found a way to make a fireplace a quantifiable work of art. Gilmore’s fire screens-handcrafted of mild and stainless steel, bronze, monel 400, copper and brass-are stunningly individual and breathetakingly beautiful. Plus, Gilmore puts his German blacksmith training to work crafting hinges and hinge pins that allow for the flawless functioning and movement of every door. Choosing a favorite is folly, but browsing through Gilmore’s award-winning pieces in the numerous books that include his work is a worthwhile pursuit.”

“been up at the ranch for a week now. The fireplace looks wonderful and works
brilliantly, thanks a bunch.
Would it be possible for you to make a log-cradle in the same design?
Thanks again and best regards.”

“It was great to see you again. We're still in awe with the fireplace screens and want to thank you, again, for the most excellent work!
Do stay in touch and feel free to schedule your photographer anytime you want. The aspens have not yet turned their colors, but I would expect that within the next two weeks.”
All the best,

“Customized” is the norm for fireplaces by Glenn F. Gilmore who has risen to the demand, and fantasies, of clients who want their fireplace screen to represent their hobbies and life styles, from boating to mountain climbing, sports to landscapes.
“The main rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows and ornamental railings that frame the stairs and upper bridge like a sculpture” Wendy Abrams, Robb Report, April 2004
Online article for: The Fabricator.Com by Dona Z. Meilach August, 2003
“When it comes to using themes and scenes in fireplace hardware, Glenn F. Gilmore’s work stands out. Gilmore from Hamilton, Mont., has customized fireplace screens throughout the country. Give him a theme or someone’s special interests and he will incorporate them into stunning fireplace accessories that could easily outshine any painting or sculpture in a room.”

“Oak trees with the leaves, acorns....they can be a whole story of the oak tree as in Glenn F. Gilmore’s composition. Gilmore’s screens have so much going on with finite attention to details. Studying them is like poring over a fine oil painting to see what the artist included and how he developed them” page 46
“Glenn F. Gilmore has earned a deserved reputation for his fire screens and fire tool hardware. His screens combine artistic design with forged, fabricated accessories that are hand fitted to the individual opening. That requires working on site. He hand forges the hinges, levers, and handles, and finishes them with his special mix of oil and paste wax. In addition to his meticulous workmanship, each of his screens is customized to accommodate a client’s interests and visual ideas.” page 57
“ We are very pleased that your expert eye finds our house to be so well designed! Certainly your beautiful ironwork contributes to the look. In fact, when we were at the house this past weekend, I commented to James that I am glad we made the investment in your fireplace doors: they are lovely.”
