Where will you open your next gallery? The Iron Fish would thrive in Charleston or Beaufort! Hopefully someone in Beaufort will make The Iron Fish work.

Chase Allen is an inspiration in both life and art. He is a man who decided what was important in life and followed his dream with discipline, action and creativity. His work is a reflection of his patience as it took years for him to develop the formula he uses to give his sculptures the look of vintage pieces worn in by time and environment. When I put a piece of Chase’s art in my home it reminds me to pursue my own creative passions and to take the time and years to perfect artistic expression.
— Patti Callahan Henry, National Bestselling Author of When Light Breaks

Hi Chase – Nearly 2 years ago I ordered the large blue crab from you and it sure does look good in my kitchen. I liked the quality of the work and material. Going to do my bathroom over and thought a nice school of fish might do the trick on the back wall. Thanks again and will be looking forward to receiving them.
— Bob Hemberg

This is the perfect coastal decor for our beach house. Our decoration efforts have been stalled until now. Hope to see you one day on Daufuskie. Thanks!

I have been collecting the metal art pieces by Chase for several years and I find his work quit remarkable. The craftsmanship and artistry is superior to other artist in his field. Anyone purchasing his pieces would be making a wise investment for the future.
