Rose Iron Works

Sketches in Iron

Sketches-In-Iron is a series of sculptural wrought iron pieces which add captivating warmth to a variety of environments. Each piece is blacksmith hand forged; details will vary slightly. Three generations of Rose family artists have contributed to the design of these delightful wall sculptures. We encourage you to check back periodically as we gradually add to this collection.

The pieces in this collection are inspired by an enchanting mural created by our studio in 1965 for the Cleveland Botanical Garden. The over 60 foot long frieze is currently a favorite focal point for visitors to the Botanical Garden. Please see the Cleveland Botanical Garden page for more history about the mural. In recognition of the significant contribution of the Cleveland Botanical Garden to our community we are proud to also offer items found in the mural itself. A portion of our proceeds for these items go toward assisting the CBG's Green Corps program.

Each of our sculptures may be also used out of doors, however additional treatment must be applied in order to withstand weather. Please let us know if you intend to use them outside.

Numerous individuals, prompted by viewing the original mural, have also enjoyed the creative experience of working with our artists to craft a distinctive unique feature for their home or office. We happily entertain commissions for such murals, of any size, to enhance your favorite room or perhaps an exterior wall.
