Contemporary Balustrade for French Windows

artistic metal work for the house and garden

A contemporary metal balustrade for French windows. Very chunky metal sections are used (the top rail is forged from 40 mm square steel) There is no welding. Instead all joinery is made using mortise and tenons or riveting; resulting in wonderfully rich detailing. An example being the swelling around the hot punched holes. The finish is galvanised steel with an acid wash to give an aged look, in keeping with the oak timber used throughout the house.
