Wrought iron elements and period furnishings for interiors and exteriors Reclaimed iron and early 20th-century metalwork
Helix has specialized for years in the recovery of antique iron elements from controlled demolitions of residential buildings, historic villas, farmhouses, and industrial structures in Northern Italy—especially Piedmont. Each item is carefully selected for its authenticity, craftsmanship, and structural quality, making reclaimed iron a valuable asset for period renovations, vintage interior design, and sustainable building projects.
Our iron materials date back to the early 1900s, featuring styles from Art Nouveau to rustic Piedmontese and industrial vintage. They are ideal for authentic interior and exterior environments, suitable for residential, commercial, or cultural contexts.
Reclaimed period iron furnishings
Authentic pieces for interiors with historical character
We offer a wide selection of antique iron furnishings, many hand-forged using traditional techniques now nearly lost. These pieces, originally from noble estates and historic gardens, are revalued today to create unique, charming spaces in homes, venues, farmhouses, and hospitality locations.
Examples of recovered items include:
-
Antique wrought iron beds and headboards
-
Vintage lampposts, lanterns, and lighting supports
-
Grilles, bars, gates, and fences
-
Wrought iron garden furniture
-
Decorative frames, plant holders, coat racks, shelves, and antique mirrors
Each piece is chosen for its preservation state, original patina, and reuse potential, retaining the charm of early 20th-century craftsmanship.
Historic decorative ironwork for refined interiors and unique exteriors Reclaimed artistic ironwork
Helix also specializes in early 20th-century artistic ironwork, including richly decorated and often one-of-a-kind wrought iron elements. Once common in aristocratic mansions, bourgeois villas, and public buildings, these pieces are now valuable for historic restoration, custom design, or retro-style architecture.
Recovered artistic iron items include:
-
Monumental gates and handcrafted iron doors
-
Railings with floral or geometric Art Nouveau or Art Deco motifs
-
Sculpted wrought iron window guards and balconies
-
Ornamental details such as knobs, rosettes, and finials
-
Interior staircases and vintage railing structures
All pieces are cleaned and selected to provide authentic reclaimed iron suitable for new living or commercial spaces while preserving historical integrity and sustainability.
