Sun Valley Bronze has expanded its plumbing collection with several distinct modern designs. The lavatory faucets are crafted with lead-free bronze, which is lined with stainless steel or NSF approved food-grade flexible tubing and assembled with lead-free brass alloy fittings (AB-1953). Available in silicon or white bronze, these fixtures are truly works of art.

Lavatory faucets are supplied with “WaterSense” aerators, a step towards conserving our earth’s water supply. The no-lead fittings meet California Law AB-1953. 

New for 2011, Sun Valley Bronze introduces an exposed wall mount shower and bath set. Crafted from the highest quality silicon or white bronze, these modern fixtures are truly works of art.

The Sun Valley Bronze faucet collection presents its deck mount kitchen faucet designed to coordinate with its line of solid bronze apron sinks. Available in silicon or white bronze.

Sun Valley Bronze will be exhibiting at the 10th annual Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York City. This is the preeminent home design show on the east coast for the design trade - a great forum for meeting colleagues, learning about the latest design ideas and products, and attending seminars.

The Ketchum Town Square is an open plaza modeled as a central gathering place for the community and visitors. Working from the architect’s rendering Sun Valley Bronze did the pattern work and casting for three 24” diameter decorative commemorative donor plaques.

Sun Valley Bronze hardware is crafted using the finest quality art-grade bronze and the proper care will guarantee a lifetime of beauty. To help ensure that your hardware is properly maintained, we have assembled a patina care kit. Each kit contains clear paste wax, steel wool, Scotch Brite pad, gloves, cleaning cloth and instructions specific to each type of finish. The kits are available through your Sun Valley Bronze Dealer.

Beauty is an 8-year-old American Bald Eagle rescued by Jane Fink Cantwell of the Birds of Prey NW organization. Beauty was found in Alaska, emaciated and near death after being critically injured by a gunshot wound to her beak. The eagle was left with only a small portion of her upper left beak and the right side was nearly gone. With the inability to consume solid food, she was forceps-fed for two years at a rehabilitation center in Anchorage, while they waited in vain for evidence of the beak to regrow. It was at this time that Jane met the bird and received permission from the US Fish & Wildlife Service to transfer her to the Birds of Prey facility in Idaho.

Jane assembled the Beauty Team and began her efforts to gather resources and advice from a variety of sources in an effort to give Beauty a new chance at life. She attracted the curiousity of Nate Calvin, founder of Kinetic Engineering Group, a Boise-based engineering company primarily involved in new product development and design services. Working exclusively in the 3D CAD software package SolidWorks, KEG designed a prosthetic titanium beak.

Sun Valley Bronze donated the use of their 3D scanner facilitating the work of the many generous contributors and sponsors who were involved in the design of Beauty's new prosthetic beak. With the help of scientists, researchers, engineers, dental and medical specialits Beauty has a new beak.

Beauty's first beak served her well, and has now been shed as predicted, due to minute regrowth of the underlying tissue. The next stage of the project requires that she receive a CAT scan and then phase two of the prosthetic beak will commence with yet another design.

Because of the bird's uniue temperament and her devoted caretakers in Northern Idaho, Beauty has received a lifetime permit as a teaching bird - with or without a prothetic beak! She remains healthy and well adjusted. Beauty is a remarkable eagle whose story continues to touch people around the globe.
