Welcome to Fontier Designs! A Pewtersmithing Studio.


Leon Fontier has been designing and producing fine home accessories in pewter. If you are looking for original American contemporary designs, handmade from fine pewter, you have come to the right place. Over the past 25 years, Leon's work has evolved into a style all his own, that is hard to pigeonhole, modern yet classic with a touch of "Art Deco". Regardless, the highly polished surface of our lamps, vases or candlesticks will softly absorb the colors of your decor and fit in nicely with any style of furnishing. From concept to the finished pieces, all the work is done here in our studio, in Upstate New York's beautiful Finger Lakes region.
