Crafted by celebrated Cincinnati artist Ted Gantz, these one-of-a-kind wrought iron gate doors are a striking fusion of strength, storytelling, and symbolism. Salvaged from the historic Fleischmann Estate, the piece features Gantz’s unmistakable blend of raw industrial materials and whimsical motifs.
Forged in solid iron, the gates are adorned with expressive botanical forms—ribbons of twisted and welded metal that evoke climbing vines, leaves, and tendrils in motion. One panel is embellished with a forged heart-shaped emblem stamped “SAFE,” linked with a chain and key, a Gantz hallmark that suggests both security and sentimentality. Every curve and weld bears the imprint of the artist’s hand and vision.
These doors are more than functional—they are sculptural installations meant to inspire. Whether repurposed as grand entry gates, room dividers, or mounted wall art, they anchor a space with a commanding presence and conversation-starting history.
