The design of this pair of asymmetrical gates and their side railings was inspired by the flowing curves of the Art Nouveau movement.
A balanced blend of straight lines and sweeping curves lends the gates both a feeling of security and a sculptural quality.
The curvilinear lines of the gates shown in the last two pictures have a quintessentially Art Nouveau appearance.
However, they combine with the curves of the railings to suggest more fulsome stylised plants that distract the eye from the support posts.
Detailing such as the tactile latch and the gate's drop bolts were
hand forged to complement the Art Nouveau theme of the work.
