Stair Rods Our stair rods and brackets are traditionally hand-made and can be tailored for both modern homes and older rustic properties. Our standard stair rods are made from 1/2” (12mm) solid steel, individually beaten into shape and then given a protective coating to

Stair rod arrow end  SRA001 Stair rod ball end  SRB001

prevent rust. We can hand forge the rods to three profiles: round, flat or spherical. These stair rods are ideal for runner carpets.

Hooks & Nails Each hook and nail is individually hand-forged using a coke fire – meaning each item is slightly different from the next and thus giving them a truly authentic feel. All hooks have a traditional beeswax finish.

Finishes Bees Wax The finished piece is heated in the fire and individually dipped into a hot liquid bees wax mixture. This is a traditional finish for interior use. We do not recommend this for exterior use unless you are prepared to reapply wax regularly. The finish is aesthetically pleasing to the eye, allowing the ironwork to showcase its natural appearance.

Painted This durable finish is suitable for interior and exterior use. We offer a range of paint choices. Please contact us for more information.

Galvanised & Acid Etched Oldfield Forge recommend that all exterior ironwork be galvanised. This protects the items from weathering and is virtually maintenance free. It provides a high bright lustre appearance. We offer the option for the product to be acid etched. This gives the ironwork a more natural, less lustrous and manufactured look. This finish requires no maintenance and is recommended for exterior conditions.

Ku-Rust This finish enhances the darkness of the steel and displays the beauty and quality of the hand crafted ironwork to full effect. It gives a more natural look and feel than painting. We do not recommend this finish for exterior use. 32

Finishes Wire Brushed & Lacquered This option is brushed to a gunmetal style finish, before being sealed with matt lacquer. Suitable for interior use.

Stainless Steel This modern steel requires no seal, we simply brush the product to a sheen, portraying a bright, yet beautiful finish.

Grate Polish Suitable as a heat-proof natural finish and is mainly used as a fire accessory finish.
