Wrought Iron Double Gates-Reclaimed
These Stibbs Brewer wrought iron double gates offer true historical connection and character with practical functionality for any entranceway. These gates carry more than just utility—they bear the name Stibbs Brewer, likely referring to the former Stibbs & Co. brewery of Cheltenham. With careful refurbishment, these gates can return to full decorative and functional glory.

These Wrought Iron Double Gates offer historical character and practical function for any entranceway. Measuring 5 feet high with a 5½ foot span, they suit use as personal or staff gates. Their proportions suggest they were never intended for vehicle access. These gates carry more than just utility—they bear the name Stibbs Brewer, likely referring to the former Stibbs & Co. brewery of Cheltenham. Brewing from the 1860s to 1890s, the brewery was bought out by Cheltenham Original Brewery in 1898.
As original 19th-century gates, this set has stood firm through decades of use and weather. The Wrought Iron Double Gates still show their fine scrollwork and classic Fleur de Lis finials, which have sustained damage. Surface rust, peeling paint and minor dents mark their age, but the overall structure remains strong. With careful refurbishment, these gates can return to full decorative and functional glory.
Used for centuries in architecture and design, wrought iron gained popularity in the Georgian and Victorian eras due to its strength and malleability. Blacksmiths could forge intricate curves and flourishes, making each gate unique. Unlike modern steel, wrought iron contains slag fibres, which resist cracking and add texture. For entrance gates, its combination of durability and decorative potential makes it a top choice.
The benefits of reclaimed Wrought Iron Double Gates go far beyond visual appeal. They reuse materials that would otherwise go to waste, supporting sustainable building practices. Original 19th Century gates like this Stibbs Brewer set, at over a century old, demonstrate their durability. Their history adds weight and meaning to any property entrance.
Placed at the front of a garden, courtyard, or private path, these Wrought Iron Double Gates create a striking point of entry. Their historic details offer more than function—they reflect the past with grace. As reclaimed wrought iron gates, they bring proven strength and rich narrative to any setting, ready to stand proud once more.
Use with stone gate posts for a sturdy entranceway.
