A Philadelphia homeowner had an exceptional property with a unique garden ecosystem that attracted butterflies and insect populations. As part of the property boundary, an iron fence design was proposed alongside the client’s driveway.

In the attempt to tie this iron fence into its natural habitat, a design was created with the implementation of ornamental roses and vines. These custom iron roses and vines, with their random orientation on each of the panels, brought a sense of art to this architectural structure. Additionally, custom scrollwork was implemented along the top of the fence; adding an architectural flair.

For aesthetic appeal and rigidity purposes, spectacular Iron columns were designed and attached to both ends of the strait boundary fence. The main posts were made of 1 ¼” solid bar with twist effects to break up the straight lines. And, to top off the massive posts, a ball finial and scroll design was attached for a strong visual impact.

The entire project was blasted, pretreated, primed and powder- coated black. Then the individual roses were hand painted red, orange, green and blue hues. These individually painted iron roses created a beautiful contrast that elevated the overall impact of the fence.

Now, due to the environmental synergy of this Iron fence and our craftsman’s’ dedication to quality and beauty, this Philadelphia client will be able to enjoy iron artistry for years to come.

As the owner of an exclusive property, we were looking for custom ironworks replicated from England in the 1860s. The photo we had was sketchy, but these passionate craftsmen knew their business, knew the details of this ancient craft and provided tips on adding authenticity. They provided excellent communication throughout the creativity and design process, then with superb, detailed craftsmanship, they created and installed an exceptional piece of ironwork that is rich in detail, authentic, yet is engineered to withstand use for decades, utilizing 100% recycled material and an eco-friendly durable finish.

We had a railing, designed, created, and installed by Compass Ironworks. Amos and Aaron were extremely professional. They kept us informed of how things were progressing. We even visited the shop when the railing was almost complete. We HIGHLY recommend Compass Ironworks! We have had several people knock on our door to ask about who made our beautiful railing. Thank you for your hard work!

We had a rather unusual design for our front railings, but the folks at Compass Ironworks took it in stride, figured out how to make it and delivered EXACTLY what we were hoping for — all at a reasonable price. Plus they’re just plain nice to deal with.
