The traditional French arch shape, created by the world-famous impressionist painter Claude Monet, features a wide shallow curve that is perfect for wider spans of pathway and enhancing the focal point of a garden. Presented here in handcrafted wrought iron, our Monet arch is made of 16 mm (3/4") thick solid steel and is suitable for growing roses, clematis and other climbing plants.
Monet arches are not just functional garden structures, but they also carry a rich history and artistic legacy. Inspired by the gardens of Claude Monet in Giverny, these arches reflect the painter's love for nature and his desire to bring the beauty of the outdoors into the realm of art. The wide, shallow curve of the arch is reminiscent of the bridges seen in many of Monet's paintings, particularly his famous series of Water Lilies. By incorporating a Monet arch into your garden, you're not just adding a practical element for plant growth, but also a touch of artistic heritage and beauty.
Moreover, the versatility of the Monet arch makes it a popular choice among garden enthusiasts. Its design allows it to accommodate a wide variety of climbing plants, from roses and clematis to ivy and honeysuckle. The arch can serve as a stunning standalone feature or be integrated into a larger garden design. It can frame a view, create a beautiful entrance to a garden path, or serve as a centrepiece in a garden bed. And with the ability to customise the size of the arch, it can be adapted to fit any garden, large or small. The Monet arch is more than just a garden structure; it's a way to bring a piece of art history into your outdoor space.
Whilst the Monet Arch shape is ideally suited to a wide pathway, we can produce this arch in any size. Please contact us to discuss your design requirements and for a guideline price.
