104 Years of Experience
Archer Blacksmiths
Archer Blacksmiths combines traditional craftsmanship with modern design to create bespoke gate railings, Juliet balconies, and ornamental metalwork for homes and businesses across Dundee and beyond. The company’s origins trace back to the 1920s, when it was founded as James Archer and Son Ltd. In 1941, the previous owner’s father began working for the firm before serving in World War II from 1944 to 1946. Upon returning, he rejoined the company, eventually becoming the main foreman in the early 1950s, managing a team of 12 craftsmen.
When Mr. Archer retired in 1974, the father took over the business, continuing its legacy of quality metalwork. In 1977, his son joined him after working at D.C. Thomson for four years, ensuring that the family tradition of blacksmithing lived on.
Today, Archer Blacksmiths remains committed to delivering high-quality, durable ironwork, whether it’s custom gate railings to enhance security or a handcrafted Juliet balcony to add elegance. The team uses only the finest materials and expert techniques to create stunning metalwork that stands the test of time.
Located in the heart of Dundee, Archer Blacksmiths proudly serves the local community with personalized service, from design to installation. For exceptional, one-of-a-kind metalwork, trust the expert team at Archer Blacksmiths—a family legacy of custom metalwork and craftsmanship.
