Modern Style Forged Gate (BP263)

BP263 puts a large forged roundel of scrolls at the centre of a modern composition.

Curved bars sweep out from it to the edges, a band of lattice runs along the base, and silver highlights catch the light.

It contains every detail a traditional blacksmith gate should have, yet its overall form looks forward, which is why it fits so naturally into a modern residence. Making it properly takes real knowledge of metalwork and a good deal of talent.

Two ideas in one gate

The modern style behind BP263 combines two approaches. On the one hand it borrows from classicism, with impressive forged ornament; on the other it favours minimalism and function. The lower fittings are filled with a metal grid, the side spans are open, and the large roundel at the centre carries the decoration for the whole gate.

Light to open, easy to live with

Despite its size and the weight of the material, the gate opens lightly and smoothly, which says a lot about the quality of the hinges and the accuracy of the frame. It is protected against corrosion, resists knocks and the weather, does not age and needs no extra maintenance.

For town and suburb

Modern forged gates like this one go well with masonry and metal fences alike, and they suit the minimalist houses now common in towns and suburbs. We can match the silver highlights to window frames or other metal details on the house.
