Victorian Gates - Henley on Thames
Large reproduction, late Victorian gates at Henley on Thames. completed 1993.
Our clients required entrance gates and railings leading from a new highway opening into their estate.
Sympathetic detail was an important factor in matching the original 19th century architecture of the estate.
A design was selected from an original trade catalogue of the same period. This catalogue is more than 100 years old.
We re-scaled the original drawing so that the new dimensions would allow for a larger opening.
The design was copied and forged to the nearest detail. All decorative detail within the gate frames were individually hand-forged.

Georgian Estate Gates - Amersham
Large automated estate entrance gates.
Modern day fabrications of reproduction hand-forged 17th century Georgian estate gates, Stackwell Forge has the diversity and expertise to meet most requirements.
We were approached by our Austrian client's architect during the early stages of restoration of this magnificent Georgian estate, house and grounds.
It was a pleasure to submit drawings of all requested ironwork features to complement the existing architecture. These were accepted not only by our client but also by the local authority for building conservation.
The architect stated that only genuine paddled wrought-iron, (rather than mild steel) was to be used for all forge work. This initially presented us with the problem of sourcing such a vast amount of raw material that has not been commercially produced for some fifty years!
We worked on this project for 18 months, manufacturing railings, balustrades and the automated drive way and pedestrian entrance gates, until its completion in 1996.
