This hand-forged iron mantel gate from Ancient Surfaces embodies the lyrical symmetry of the Belle Époque era. Its sweeping scrollwork unfolds like a pair of unfolding wings, joined by a central medallion that anchors the design in quiet balance. The aged bronze-brown patina enhances the interplay of light and shadow, while the precision of each curve reveals the artistry of early European metalwork. Elegant yet commanding, this piece transforms a mantel into a poetic focal point steeped in history and craftsmanship.
