For over forty years, the creative career of American master Stephen Barlow has had a significant impact on the field of engraving in the style of realism. His works are distinguished by amazing detail and classical harmony of compositions, capturing magnificent panoramas of American nature, many of which occupy an honorable place in museum exhibitions or are the pride of private collectors.
In 1978, Barlow Designs, Inc. was founded in Providence – a unique studio where, under the leadership of Barlow, elegant lines of jewelry and accessories were created using the scrimshaw technique. This technique, originally associated with bone engraving (which makes it exceptional), gave each item a special charm.
Products under the Barlow brand are distinguished by the highest quality and original design solutions. Themes vary from sports to marine, floral, animalistic and retro styles. The craftsmanship is not only in the engraving, but also in the hand-painting of each pattern to enhance the aesthetic appeal.
Barlow’s vintage jewelry and accessories from the 1980s and 1990s are especially popular with collectors. These works of art have an inimitable poetic quality and extraordinary beauty that has become the master’s signature.
