Pewter

Carrol Boyes uses a special pewter alloy that contains antimony, copper and tin as opposed to traditional pewter alloys containing lead. Pewter is an attractive alloy as it is shiny and bright and looks like silver. Our cast and hand-finished pewter products have a soft and warm aesthetic. As pewter has increased substantially in value over the last few years, pewter has become a popular collector preference as it is a premium product.
