Introducing The Branch Picture Rail by Collier Webb
Collier Webb (200 Lex suite 511) is proud to present the Branch Picture Rail, a singular and sculptural addition to its hardware collection, one that begins not in the studio, but in the landscape itself.
Inspired by a fallen birch branch discovered in the Sussex countryside, the design captures a fleeting moment in nature and transforms it into a lasting object of beauty. Through the ancient art of lost wax casting, the original organic form is preserved in solid brass, immortalising every ridge, curve, and texture with remarkable fidelity.
More than a functional object, the Branch Picture Rail becomes part of the composition itself, an expression of “found art” that elevates the act of hanging artwork into one of curation.
Cast at 1700mm as standard, each rail is handmade and finished by skilled artisans, allowing some customisation, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly alike.
Discreet hooks fixed to the reverse of the branch support adjustable chains, allowing artworks to be precisely positioned while maintaining the illusion of effortless hanging. Unlike traditional systems, the Branch Picture Rail does not employ finials or visible S-hooks, reinforcing its sculptural, uninterrupted form.
The Branch Picture Rail is offered in a curated selection of hand-applied finishes.
Cast using a minimum of 25% recycled brass and produced entirely at Collier Webb’s Sussex foundry, the piece reflects both the brand’s commitment to sustainability and its dedication to British craftsmanship.
Rooted in the idea of provenance and preservation, the Branch Picture Rail celebrates the beauty of the natural world while giving it new life within the interior. It is both a functional object and an artwork in its own right, designed to sit harmoniously within a space while quietly commanding attention.
With the launch of the Branch Picture Rail, Collier Webb invites you to explore a new expression of hardware, where nature, craftsmanship, and design converge in a piece that is at once timeless and entirely unique.
