Historical Origin And Design Inspiration

The Chateau de Thorens is a castle in the commune of Thorens-Glires in the Haute-Savoie département of France. It is accessible from the north-east of Annecy by a road of about 20km, going up to the plateau of Glires. It is often confused with the Chateau de Sales that was formerly its neighbour of a few hundred metres; Sales was destroyed on the order of king Louis XII in 1630. Since the liberation of France at the end of World War II, the castle has sometimes incorrectly been called Chteau de Thorens-Glires


The castle was confiscated by the duke of Savoie in 1479. Many crimes, abuses and executions were reported to have been committed by the lords of Compey, so the castle was offered of Hélne de Luxembourg, spouse of prince Janus de Savoie, duke of Genve. Hélne was, however, not interested in Thorens; her daughter Louise de Savoie, who married her cousin Francois de Luxembourg, inherited the Chateau de Thorens.


Later, in 1559, Thorens was sold to Sébastien II de Luxembourg and Lord Francois de Sales de Boisy, father of Saint Francois de Sales. The Lord de Sales already owned the Chateau de Sales, located a few hundred metres from the Chateau de Thorens. Pledged also to the lords of Compey, initially, the Chateau de Sales thus came to the keeping of the princes of Luxembourg. The Lord de Sales occupied the prestigious charge of maatre d'hatel of the residence of prince Sébastien II. In the 17th century, the family of Sales, originating from La Roche-sur-Foron and extremely old, saw a fast rise, occupying the highest charges at the House of Savoy in Turin, going from the titles of baron to those of count and, finally, marquis.

All Steel Is Coal Fired, Hammered By Master Blacksmiths The Old Fashioned Way And Patina Finished. At Scottsdale Art Factory, we take pride in our traditional, superior quality workmanship and craft our products from only the finest steel. Our master blacksmiths have been classically trained, and utilize old world techniques such as coal firing, anvil hammering and hand forging to create the finest handcrafted hardware available anywhere. All of our steel work is hand patina finished by heat applying iron oxides to achieve a natural patina finish that will stand the test of time.



Nothing is Drop Forged. We create works The Old Fashioned Way using solid hand forged steel, (drop forging is a poor quality, casted copy of a hand forged work of art). Nothing is wrought iron; wrought iron is simply a softer and less sturdy form of metal that cannot compare to stronger hand forged low carbon steel.

Scottsdale Art Factory carries on the American Arts And Crafts Movement of the 21st century, in the same way William Morris and John Ruskin (founders of the Arts and Crafts furniture movement in circa 1800 England) inspired Gustave Stickley (founder of the American Arts and Crafts movement) in America circa 1900. Frank Loyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene (inspired architects of the ultimate cottages such as the Gamble House in Pasadena California) are credited with raising quality standard to its highest level in their day. All of these great master craftsman also inspired the Marabella Brothers in the early 20th Century (founders of SAF circa 1913).


Every creative enterprise is always built on a foundation that was laid down by its predecessors. Creative people are also dependent on the groundwork laid down by those who came before them. H. J. Nick, artist and direct descendant of the Marbella brothers, and Scottsdale Art Factory have built on these foundations and have raised the bar of quality even higher. Thus setting a new standard and offering the finest one of a kind handmade furnishings found anywhere in the world in the 21st century.


Our Heritage: Marabella brothers come to America.
