Victorian railings in North Hill, Highgate have been repaired and restored by Haringey Council.
The railings are topped with pine cones – known locally as pineapples – were made between 1853 and 1894 by Hill & Smith, whose stamp was found while the work was being done.
Highgate Society vice-president Michael Hammerson said the restoration is significant because the railings are “as much a part of the local heritage as our listed buildings, which everyone can enjoy”.
He said: “They look much more attractive and elegant than most modern street furniture, which is utilitarian, standardised everywhere and provides no focus of interest for local people.”
