We worked with the owners to create a consistent railing design which could be used across both the front and rear exterior and was more in keeping with the property’s age.Īs we’ve discussed, the Edwardian age metalwork shows clear influences from the Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movements with lots of curves and natural elements. The existing railings were a mixed bag with plain straight railings installed on the front and first floor terrace and wooden rails on the ground floor balcony. They also wanted to upgrade the front exterior of the house in a style befitting the property including pattered black and white floor tiles. The home already featured raised ground and first floor balconies, and the homeowners were looking to add a further roof terrace above a flat roof on the top floor. The property we were working on was a beautiful Edwardian mid-terrace spread over three storeys. That was a challenge we faced on a recent installation in North London. But occasionally it is necessary to make the odd tweak to designs to ensure they comply with modern safety standards. As specialists in period metalwork, we’re always looking to ensure any metalwork is as accurate to original designs as possible, including using centuries old patterns. It’s no surprise then that when homeowners are looking to make changes to these properties, they want to ensure any railings, balusters or stairways match the style. Decorative metalwork helps to define the character of many period homes, adding charm and splendour.
