Ornate iron gates at Belvedere

Iron draws lines in air—Belvedere’s gates are wearable architecture.

Gate Designs

  • Flourishes and symmetry shape the welcome.

Photographing Ironwork

  • Backlight to reveal filigree; avoid front flash.
  • Align verticals to prevent leaning gates.
  • Focus on intersections where craft is densest.

Gates

Bottom Line

Pause at thresholds; they frame every arrival and departure.
