Sculpted Metal Railings with Forged Animals and Trees

Sculpted railings are a type of balustrade we invented for people who love nature: owners of timber houses, homes on the edge of the forest, thatched cottages and properties with large gardens. They look just as striking on any other building.

Every detail is three-dimensional: trees, branches, leaves and animals are forged life-size, as if they were real.

Our sculpted railing designs

Any scene, any animal

The scenes and the shape of the railing are almost unlimited. Herons are the most popular, but we forge eagles, deer, pheasants or purely botanical designs, and they are always hot-dip galvanized against the weather.

The same craftsmanship goes into our sculpted gates and fences, so a whole property can share one nature theme.

Artistic railings: a direction of our own

These railings go far beyond standard balustrades. We create elaborate plant scenes and compositions combined with steel sculptures, most often of animals, though not only. Each one is unique and especially appreciated by people who love nature and unusual forms; they suit mountain, forest and garden settings perfectly. Every piece is made 100% by hand in steel, and together they form a distinct, artistic direction that we keep developing in our workshop, based on three-dimensional modelling of steel and original composition.

Hunting and nature railings

Hunting-style railings are one of the most characteristic strands of our artistic balustrades. They are hand-forged structures inspired by nature, made for houses surrounded by gardens or forest, in the mountains or built of timber, and they blend naturally with regional architecture, mountain lodges and rustic residences.

Every hunting railing is made in three dimensions: the details are not flat but modelled with real depth. Birds, animals and natural elements are formed in steel, most often herons, cranes and other animal sculptures that are an integral part of the structure rather than decoration, as in our railing with a large forged heron BA84 and the balcony railing with a forged eagle BA40. They are hot-dip galvanized, so they are fully weather-resistant outdoors.

Botanical railings

Botanical railings are based on trees, boughs, branches and leaves. Every element is forged by hand and modelled in three dimensions; nothing is flat, and every detail has real thickness, depth and texture, so the whole forms a natural, organic composition, like our creeper tree railing BA39. They can be subtle and delicate or massive and monumental, depending on the scale of the building, and in some projects we add steel sculptures that accent the central part and give the railing a narrative dimension.

Highland-style railings

Highland railings draw on local symbols and folk motifs, such as the mountain lily and regional geometric patterns. Unlike traditional timber railings they are made of steel and hot-dip galvanized, so they last for decades without replacement. They emphasise the character of houses in mountain regions and are a durable metal interpretation of forms known from regional architecture, as in our highland-style metal railing BA90.

Railings with sculptures and figures

Some of our artistic railings are built around a steel sculpture. Each figure is made in our forge and can show any subject: animals, people, narrative scenes, symbolic forms or designer elements. The sculpture is not an add-on but part of the structure, modelled in three dimensions with care for proportion and detail, and the design always follows the client’s vision and the character of the building. These railings can be made as balcony railings or as stair railings, whichever the project needs.

Sculptural railing FAQ

Can a sculptural balustrade be used indoors?

Yes. Several of our sculptural railings run up interior staircases, like the railing with herons BA60, and indoors we can use lighter finishes, patina or gilding that would not be needed outside.

Which animals can you forge into a railing?

Almost any. Herons, cranes, eagles, deer and pheasants are the most popular, but we can portray the wildlife of your own region or even a favourite pet.
