Wrought Iron Garden Gates | Vintage Entrance Ideas
First impressions matter. Before anyone steps foot inside your garden, they've already formed an opinion, and nothing sets the tone quite like the entrance. A garden gate isn't just a functional barrier; it's a statement of character, a signal of what lies beyond, and the detail that lifts a garden from ordinary to something genuinely memorable.
At Opulent Co., our vintage wrought iron gates are hand-distressed, EDP coated, and built to handle every season the British weather can throw at them, while only getting more beautiful with age. Here's a closer look at the three styles making all the difference in gardens right now.
Vintage Gates | Antiqued Blue | £359.95
These Antiqued Blue gates bring a touch of French elegance to any garden entrance.

Hand-distressed and EDP coated for superior rust resistance, these gates are designed to stand up to decades of British weather while the colour deepens and matures with time.

Vintage Arch with Gates | Green Rusty | £459.95
For those who love raw, organic character, the Green Rusty finish is the one.

Despite the weathered aesthetic, these gates are EDP coated underneath for genuine rust resistance and durability. The look is intentional; the longevity is engineered.

Choosing the Right Gate for Your Garden
The right gate depends on the story your garden is telling. If you're going for French cottage romance, the Antiqued Blue gates with climbing roses are hard to beat. For grandeur and theatre, the Antique Green arch with gates creates that sense of arrival. And if raw, organic character is your thing, the Green Rusty finish will only improve with every passing season.
All three are hand-distressed, EDP coated, and built for free-standing or wall-mounted installation. All come with free UK mainland delivery.
