A Philadelphia homeowner had an exceptional property with a unique garden ecosystem that attracted butterflies and insect populations. As part of the property boundary, an iron fence design was proposed alongside the client’s driveway.

In the attempt to tie this iron fence into its natural habitat, a design was created with the implementation of ornamental roses and vines. These custom iron roses and vines, with their random orientation on each of the panels, brought a sense of art to this architectural structure. Additionally, custom scrollwork was implemented along the top of the fence; adding an architectural flair.

For aesthetic appeal and rigidity purposes, spectacular Iron columns were designed and attached to both ends of the strait boundary fence. The main posts were made of 1 ¼” solid bar with twist effects to break up the straight lines. And, to top off the massive posts, a ball finial and scroll design was attached for a strong visual impact.

The entire project was blasted, pretreated, primed and powder- coated black. Then the individual roses were hand painted red, orange, green and blue hues. These individually painted iron roses created a beautiful contrast that elevated the overall impact of the fence.

Now, due to the environmental synergy of this Iron fence and our craftsman’s’ dedication to quality and beauty, this Philadelphia client will be able to enjoy iron artistry for years to come.

We love our front porch railings! They certainly add a lot of beauty to our home and they fit the period of our home. When elderly guests come to visit, it’s always good that they have something strong to hold onto, and they fit perfectly what we were looking for. Thanks to everyone on your team for their artistic work. We are very happy with our final products!

Compass delivered absolutely amazing, high quality product. They are true masters.  I am also pleased with their timely communication and guidance, as we worked through the design and transaction process. 

I would definitely recommend them and work with them again.

What an excellent experience we had with Compass Ironworks!! We have spent four years restoring and remodeling a Pre-Civil War home in North Alabama. We have learned a lot through the process and made more than a few mistakes. But choosing Compass Ironworks was not one of those. From the very first interaction, Amos and his team have been a pleasure to work with. Old homes are quirky! No right angles. No two measurements are precisely the same. So using a company in Pennsylvania was a risk. And we are SO GLAD we took that risk! Absolutely flawless!! The designs, the collaboration, the execution, the QUALITY, the timeline and the finished product were all first class!!! We will absolutely choose Compass again for our next project and recommend them to anyone who asks.

The railing is installed and is beautiful … a work of art, to be sure!

My expectations were high and certainly met. I was able to visit the shop and see the railing in progress. It was a thrill to see it then, and very exciting when it arrived at my home.

I have already recommended you to others!
