Scrollwork Courtyard Gate
A double-leaf courtyard gate with a raised arched header, each leaf filled with formed C-scrolls worked into a solid frame, and scroll lines scribed into the header panel itself. Photographed in the shop in raw burnished steel, before finishing.
Scrollwork is where hand work shows most plainly — each curl is formed and fitted individually, so the piece can’t be mistaken for a catalogue gate. The scribed lines in the arched header repeat the formed scrolls below it, which is the kind of detail that only reads in person or in a close photo.
Shown here in raw steel on the shop floor, so this doubles as a process image — useful for a buyer who wants to see that the work is actually made here.
Unverified: no customer name is attached to this piece, so it carries a descriptive title rather than a “The —— Gate” product name. Ask Jon whether it has a real name, and whether there are photos of it installed and finished.
