Description

This pair of gates, dating from 1913, was created for the 2nd Duke of Westminster and is located north of the Tea House, across the path to the Broad Walk in Eaton Park Garden. The gates are made of wrought iron, painted black and gold. Each gate features an ornate openwork bottom rail, with lower and upper panels decorated with latticed metal ropework. The lockrail showcases fine repousse work depicting grapes, grape-leaves, and stems. Between each upper panel and the top rail, there are cartouches displaying the dates 1863 on the left and 1913 on the right. The gates are topped with an overthrow featuring intricate foliated scrollwork and a central cartouche with the initials GW. The distinct style of the repousse work on the lockrail suggests that it may have reused earlier materials.
