oil rubbed bronze with gold highlights


This was a fairly simple railing. It was painted black and came stock with the house. I met the designer to go over samples for painting the fireplace screens and suggested they try out a custom finish on the railing. The designer and homeowner were skeptical and didn't think a finish could add anything to the simple railing. I made a sample and they loved it. A little paint goes a long way. I know iron is traditionally black but I truly love my work and how my finishes can make something ordinary into something extraordinary.

  1. I stumbled into your website. Great wrought iron painting! I have black scroll/basket railings inside the house and will try adding gold here and there. Thanks for the inspiration!
