About the Item

An elegant set of reclaimed wrought iron gates with accompanying cast iron posts to set the stage for a beautiful driveway in a country home or townhouse. Delicately made from wrought iron, each gate features a sweeping top with ornate scrolling brackets above a lattice detailed frame with riveted construction.

They require minimal maintenance and are ready to be placed in situ at the entrance to a property, garden or driveway.

The company still exists today under the name Hill and Smith Holdings making modern items such as road barriers and infrastructure, however their early works included items such as hurdles, fencing and gates like this one which has stood the test of time from the late 19th century.
