WROUGHT IRON HANDLES ALL PULL HANDLES
Handles For Large Doors
Our Handles For Large Doors is a mid-sized wrought iron, rustic handle with an attractive Fleur de Lys detailing at each end. Designed to fit on larger cupboards or internal doors, but they could also be used outside on shed, stable or garage doors. Please note, however, if they are situated outside, that as these handles are not painted, they will eventually show signs of rusting. This will not affect their functionality, but you may wish to rub them down to remove the wax coating and coat them with a high-quality paint.
Fitting our Stable Door Handle
This handle is relatively simple to fit with the fixing screws provided. We recommend you drill a pilot hole before fitting the screws.

What Wrought Iron do I Need?
Our collection boasts a wide range of hand-forged pieces, catering to various tastes with items like black wrought iron handles, latches, hinges, and shelf brackets. The carefully aged vintage ironmongery we create offers a true touch of authenticity to any home. We take pride in our selection and invite enthusiasts of genuine, handcrafted ironwork to discover our offerings.
The rarity of genuine wrought iron is on the rise due to its laborious and costly manufacturing process. Historically, blacksmiths mould the white-hot metal using tongs and a steam hammer. Yet, with the advent of less expensive contemporary materials like steel, the production of wrought iron has dwindled, making it nearly twice as expensive as steel. Today, incorporating wrought iron elements into your home decor can provide a distinctive and attractive look.
The charm of incorporating handcrafted items into a home is greatly appreciated. Picturing a blacksmith labouring, shaping wrought iron on an anvil with the glow of a coal forge behind them, not only evokes a romantic image but also highlights the technical superiority of wrought iron above cast iron.
Modern materials have been revolutionized by the addition of glasslike iron silicate to the smelting process, which endows the material with remarkable malleability when heated. The fibrous structure of this material absorbs stress, leading to a lighter weight and enabling the creation of complex curves and twists that distinguish wrought iron accessories. Additionally, the presence of silicate enhances corrosion resistance, rendering wrought iron exceptionally durable against harsh weather conditions, ideal for outdoor features like doors and windows where both aesthetics and durability are essential.
The Rustic Merchant is proud to present an outstanding range of wrought iron products that marry high quality with reasonable prices. Discover our variety of wrought iron handles, latches, and Gothic candle holders, all crafted to add distinctive charm to your home.
Wrought ironwork, an art form with a history spanning thousands of years, enjoyed renewed popularity in the 16th century, becoming a preferred decorative element for doors and windows. It conjures images of Baroque balustrades’ elegance, Victorian gazebos’ allure, and the enduring beauty of Tudor candelabras.
