Wrought Iron

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.

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.
