Bartlett Street Quarter: then and now
Many of you will know that we were involved in the restoration of the beautiful overthrow which hangs high up above the shops, cafes, restaurants, art galleries and antiques centre of the Bartlett St Quarter in Bath.
Royal Crescent Hotel, Bath Wedding Pergola
In terms of word of mouth, it’s great when a project we’ve worked on does the talking!
Back in 2013 we were asked to design, make and install a Dining Pavilion – affectionately known as the ‘Onion’ – for The Yorke Arms ‘Restaurant and Rooms’, owned by Michelin starred Chef, Frances Atkins.
Canopy restoration, Lansdown Bath
This pretty Georgian canopy was reclaimed and restored on behalf of a client who lives on Lansdown in Bath. Martin Smith carried out this restoration in the Ironart workshops in Larkhall.
Everything’s coming up roses
Summer is here and everywhere you look the roses are in bloom. We have had a flurry of orders for garden structures since an editorial piece about Ironart’s fruit cages appeared in Gardens Illustrated magazine this month – the most popular being wrought iron rose arches.
Bath Abbey Lectern repair
Not a big project, but great to have the chance to work inside Bath’s beautiful Abbey repairing the foot of their historic lectern – here are some pics of Luke fitting new heavy-duty casters to the base.
Bespoke brass shutter bars
Martin made these bespoke brass shutter bars for a large Georgian house in Scotland. This was a fiddly project – but the finished results look amazing.
Railing restoration at the Assembly Rooms
These top hat finial railings are situated outside the National Trust’s Assembly Rooms in the centre of Bath and date back to 1771 the year the Assembly rooms were completed.
A cast iron jigsaw puzzle
One of the most satisfying projects we’ve undertaken recently was the restoration of this beautiful cast iron Coalbrookdale Nasturtium bench.
Cast iron is a durable metal and was (and still is) used frequently to make garden furniture, because it can withstand the elements while allowing the designer to introduce a high level of detail and decoration.
Larkhall Festival Weekend – Open Day
It was great to welcome so many people at the Ironart open day on Saturday – part of the Larkhall Festival weekend.
