Layout of an entrance with antique pillars and wrought iron gate

The goal of this project was to preserve the soul of the site by integrating a gate with a simple yet authentic design. It features a beautiful oxidized patina that enhances its character. For this project, the owners opted for a more understated frieze that echoes the vertical bars rather than the scrollwork seen in the product photos available on our website.

This gate is supported by two limestone pillars, whose pyramidal capitals add a refined touch. Weathered by time, theses stone pillars were carefully cleaned and stabilized to ensure their durability.

At the base, a gritstone cobblestone threshold was installed to provide a solid foundation and an elegant finish. These sawn reclaimed cobbles, with a thickness of 3 to 5 cm, combine two formats—14x14 cm and 14x20 cm—to create a traditional aesthetic.

This project highlights the value of reusing reclaimed materials to bring authenticity and elegance to an entrance. By combining wrought iron and stone, it showcases the timeless beauty of these materials and blends seamlessly into its rural surroundings.
