About this piece
back to topReclaimed from an estate in North Yorkshire, this tall wrought iron gate makes an impressive entrance to a garden or courtyard. Dating from the 1860s, this Victorian gate has been beautifully preserved for more than 160 years. It features a tall arched side gate simply detailed with stylised scrolls and acorn finials within an ornately detailed frame. It is ideally suited to a walled garden or grand courtyard, the fixings at the base and the sides designed to be set into the ground and secured to a wall.
Tall Wrought Iron Garden Gate
Gates and ironwork made from wrought iron have stood the test of time. This traditional method of craftsmanship sees the metal heated to a high temperature and then hammered into shape by a blacksmith’s hand, creating a robust and durable finish. The more wrought iron is worked, the stronger it becomes, making some of the most ornate antique gates some of the strongest. Large scale commercial production of wrought iron products ended in the mid 1970s due to the expensive and time-consuming nature of blacksmithing, making wrought iron gates true antiques, showcasing talented craftsmanship of the past.
