Authentic Golden Gate Bridge steel
The historic steel comes from the Golden Gate Bridge’s original pedestrian handrail, installed in 1937 and removed in 1993 after 56 years on the bridge. Originally produced by Bethlehem Steel in Pennsylvania, this reclaimed material is crafted into furniture, art and gifts by Golden Gate Furniture Co. in San Francisco. Surface texture and weathering vary from piece to piece.
