Foxglove Ironwork Gate - Handmade by Simon Connett

Foxglove and Hollyhock Gate for a Georgian Farmhouse in Silverton Devon

Foxglove and Hollyhock Gate

Silverton Devon

Project Details

This gate was hand forged with a patinated zinc finish.

Designed so that the sweeping reverse curve of the top rail frames the front door of the Georgian farmhouse when viewed from directly in front.

The foxgloves and hollyhocks were chosen as they reflect the planting in the beautiful main garden. The foxgloves and fern leaves also linked to the ancient hedges that line the narrow lanes leading to the house.

Considering a Commission?

The studio undertakes both individual commissions and larger landscape projects.

Each begins with a conversation about scale, context and installation.

From concept sketches through to fabrication and placement, every piece is developed with its setting in mind.
