Description
A rich, classical star rosette in cast steel, for gate centres, panelled doors and period ironwork. This badge is 160mm across: eight pointed acanthus leaves with curled lobes radiating out like a star, around a raised ring that frames a medallion of fine spokes with a small dome in the middle. The back is flat and plain, and the casting is about 13mm deep, ready to weld or bolt. The price shown is for one rosette, with a minimum order of 5.
Why choose this rosette
Classical detail. Acanthus leaves and a ringed medallion come straight from Georgian and Victorian ornament, so it suits period gates, railings and doors far better than a plain flower.
Large and crisp. At 160mm across with deep leaf detail, it reads clearly at the centre of a gate panel or door from the street.
Flat back. The back is flat, so it sits squarely on bars, a panel or a door and is easy to weld, bolt or screw.
Looks best picked out in gold. Paint it black and touch the leaf tips and centre boss with gold for a traditional finish, as in the photos.
Where it is used
Centres of pedestrian and driveway gates, gate and railing panels, panelled front doors, gate piers, fire surrounds and restoration of period ironwork.

Fitting and care
Clean the back of the rosette and the panel or bars where it will sit with a flap disc so the weld takes. Clamp it in place, turn it so a leaf points straight up, then tack it and check again before welding. On a pair of gates, fit one to each leaf at the same height.
Degrease, then prime with a zinc-rich or metal primer before painting. Galvanising before powder coating gives the longest life outdoors. A small brush and gold paint on the leaf tips and centre boss brings out the detail.
Frequently asked questions
Is the price for one rosette?
Yes, it is for one rosette, with a minimum order of 5. For a larger quantity, call us for a price.
Does it come painted?
No. It comes as raw cast steel. The black and gold finish in the photos was painted on after fitting.
Is the back flat?
Yes. The back is flat and plain, so it sits squarely on a panel, bars or a door.
Can I use it indoors?
Yes. Painted, it makes a good feature on a fire surround, door or wall, fixed with screws.
Are all the rosettes exactly the same?
They are cast from the same pattern, but cast parts vary by a millimetre or two and the surface texture varies slightly from one casting to the next.
