DRIVEWAY / ENTRANCE / APPROACH / ESTATE GATE PRODUCTS

Allen Architectural Metals restores, replicates, and fabricates entrance and driveway gates for preservation projects where proportion, hinge conditions, ironwork detail, finish, and setting govern the work. Allen’s work includes pedestrian gates, estate gates, park gates, security gates, fencing, cresting, posts, rails, scrollwork, castings, and architectural metal elements for civic buildings, campuses, streetscapes, memorials, institutions, and historic properties. Using field documentation, surviving originals, historic drawings, pattern making, casting, fabrication, finishing, and installation experience, Allen helps return historic gate assemblies to service while respecting material character, architectural setting, and disciplined preservation practice across historic settings.

Connoisseurs around the world are driving a renewed demand for luxurious custom metalwork. Lyrical in design, handcrafted railings, balustrades and gates serve as the jewelry of a house, belying their intrinsic strength and ultimate functionality. At Gold Coast Metal Works' atelier, highly skilled blacksmiths rely on time-honored techniques to forge hot metal - most commonly steel, but also bronze and wrought iron - and use anvils, hammers and chisels to create meticulous flowers and leaves, sinuous curves and decorative rosettes. Each finished piece is a unique and original work and will look beautiful for centuries. At Gold Coast Metal Works, a team of expertly trained artisans works on each commission. From engineers and draftsmen, to blacksmiths and finishers. With headquarters on the North Shore of New York's Long Island, the company easily works anywhere in the world.
