Ornamental Wrought Iron Railing in Milwaukee, WI

Ornamental ironwork is where wrought iron shows off a little. This interior railing in Milwaukee is round bar in satin black with decorative detailing worked into it, the kind of piece that is as much a feature as it is a railing.

Ornamental just means the design carries decorative elements rather than plain verticals: scrolls, twists, a repeated motif, whatever suits the home. It belongs in a house with some formality to it, a grand staircase or a two-story foyer, where a plain railing would undersell the space. Done right it is a focal point; overdone it is busy, so the trick is knowing where to stop.

Milwaukee is well within the range we cover out of our Arlington Heights shop, and round bar in satin black is a profile-and-finish pairing that ages well in a formal interior. The wrought iron is primed and painted, built to the staircase on site, and installed by our own crew.

If your staircase is the centerpiece of the house and deserves more than plain verticals, let Signature Metal Works talk through what is possible.
