About the Item

A substantial 19th century double entry gate, constructed of cast and wrought iron and retaining an exceptional weathered surface with layers of oxidized rust and traces of faded original faded paint. The gate was produced by the historic Stewart Iron Works, Cincinnati, Ohio established by the Scottish American Stewart family. The gate is constructed as a symmetrical bi-parting entrance, each section made up of vertical bars surmounted by spear finials, a diagonal X-form brace, and an ornate scrolled crest rising to meet the other at the center. The gate retains a richly timeworn exterior with deep oxidation and beautifully broken paint in earthy rust brown, verdigris-like green, and softened red tones. The gate would work beautifully as functioning gates with restoration, mounted decoratively as wall decoration, garden ornament, or as an architectural accent. The gate was constructed by Stewart Iron Works founded in Covington, Kentucky, in 1862 and one of the oldest and largest ironworks in the world, supplying gates and fences to the White House, Panama Canal, Taft Museum, the U.S. House of Representatives, and Alcatraz. From an estate in San Francisco, CA.
