Repurposed Antique Wrought Iron Mezzanine Guardrail — Stabilized Rust, Laser-Cut Panel & Jade Oil Finish
Upcycling architectural heritage: combining restored historic ironwork with modern laser-cut steel for a unified, bespoke design.
Engineered to secure a mezzanine while infusing authentic historic character into the home, this custom guardrail system blends old-world craftsmanship with modern metalworking precision. It features a main guardrail crafted from repurposed antique wrought iron mangers, complemented by a smaller laser-cut steel panel guardrail. Both elements share a matching burnished/stabilized rust patina sealed with natural jade oil for seamless aesthetic harmony.

- Complete Structural Adaptation: Re-aligned forged patterns, custom framing, and structural steel support posts ensuring maximum stability and code compliance across the entire mezzanine.
- Unified Burnished & Stabilized Rust Patina: Consistent surface treatment applied across all metal elements (both antique and new) to lock in the rich oxidized finish without mess.
- Natural Jade Oil Sealer: Nourished and sealed with natural jade oil across all components, providing durable surface protection, a silky tactile feel, and a cohesive satin luster.
