Blacksmith Fence (BP245)

BP245 is full of fanciful shapes: a fan of bars opens beneath an arched top, and beautifully forged leaves spread across the panel.

Every material is finished in the traditional blacksmith way. We make gates with matching fencing across Europe, the USA, the UK and Japan.

A fan of steel under an arch

In BP245 the bars do not stand straight. They spread out from the base of the panel like the ribs of a fan and meet the arched top rail at different angles, so the span seems to open towards the sky. Over this structure run long forged leaves and tendrils with bronze highlights, which sweep across the bars and give the design movement and a touch of Art Nouveau.

In the close-up you can see how the leaves are modelled: veins are chased into the surface, the edges are curled and the stems are drawn out to fine points. This is detail that only hand forging gives.

The fan pattern also hides the spacing between bars much better than a straight railing, so from an angle the panel looks denser and gives the garden a little more privacy than its open drawing suggests.

Calm structure, lively detail

Although the ornament is playful, the panel itself is simple and well proportioned, which keeps the fence from looking busy. That makes BP245 a good choice for owners who want something more individual than a standard railing, but still a fence that will suit the house in twenty years’ time. It can serve as a front fence or continue along the sides and back of the garden.

The frame is made of solid bar and the fan bars are welded at both ends, so each span is stiff and secure. The surfaces are protected against rust and finished in black with bronze accents, or in another colour of your choice.

With stone, brick or render

The curved top and the warm accents work well with almost any material. On a stone base the fence looks rustic and noble, on brick it becomes more traditional, and in front of smooth render it reads as a modern take on classic ironwork. The same fan motif can be used in a driveway gate, where it looks especially striking when the two leaves open.
