Antique Wrought Iron - Driveway Gates, Garden Gates, Wine Cellar Doors

A few years back,

we received over 200 TONS of

Antique Wrought Iron

salvaged from Egypt

Nine flatbeds total.

Between 100 - 200 years old,

this iron is very high quality -

hot banded & rivited -

sure to last at least another 100 years.

We still have many styles & sizes available

with an onsite metal shop ready to

take on any project.

In honor of Spring,

I thought I'd share some of our

favorite antique wrought iron projects.

See this earlier blog for the 'before'

pictures of the iron shown above.

The iron gates above were

fabricated for the wine cellar at

Potomac Point Vineyard & Winery.

This was originally 2 panels and an arched transom.

Our craftsman combined them into

a seamless pair of double gates.

This balcony was made from a salvaged

balcony rail and framed with new iron.

Stunning gates & side panels.

The next few pictures show

salvaged 1920s window guards

incorporated into railings

at Deepak Chopra's

Center for Living.

This one is harder to see...

large 6' x 6' panels were used

to create this backdrop in the garden

of photographer Simon Yao's studio.

And a simply elegant balcony rail

designed for a client in Washington, DC.

We currently have a number of iron panels

listed in our Ebay Store here and here.

If you have a particular size or project

your working on, please give us a call.

We'd be happy to take a look in the yard

and send pictures & additional information.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Pictures from the Designers' Showhouse in Blacksburg VA

Last night was the opening reception

of the Designers' Showhouse

to benefit the Lunch Pail Scholarship Fund

for more information,

see this earlier post

Mike (co-owner of Black Dog)

& Susie Whiteside (Whiteside Designs) teamed

up to design a few areas of the house.

The front porch has a custom bench,
built here in our shop,
matching plant stands,
and a driftwood ball.

St. Francis of Assisi makes for a

welcome entrance.

This is one of many reproduction

garden statuaries available here

at Black Dog. To see an online

catalog, click here.

They are made in North Carolina

and are very high quality

quartz sand cast concrete, made from

molds of antique statuary.

To the right of the front door,

this console table greets you.

Note the framed antique ceiling tin

above. And... it wouldn't be complete in

Hokie Country without a gobbler!

This little nook features a custom

bench fabricated from antique wrought iron.

These benches offer great storage

for entry ways or mudrooms.

Here's Susie!

Susie was given the task of

designing the dining room,

which was a true artistic collaboration

and captured a fun, energetic spirit!

Antique stained glass windows

salvaged from a church adorn the windows

and tie together the vibrant colors.

An antique sette offers bench seating

at the custom iron dining table.

This custom mirror w/ a copper patina

was built by our friend John Davis.

Sidenote: he also designs super cool teardrop trailers

which we'll blog more about later.

Gill Pollard's Hay Bales

offer the perfect touch.

Note the custom wine rack in the corner,

fabricated here in our shop.

I left the best for last... my absolute favorite detail!

This light fixture was fabricated here in the

shop and covered with a fun and fanciful fabric.

All the items in the showhouse are

available for sale. For more information

about the showhouse click here.

Need help designing a room

(or an entire home or business)?

Give Susie a call!
