Wrought Iron Fire Basket
Ironwork made from wrought iron has stood the test of time. This traditional method of craftsmanship sees the metal heated to a high temperature and then hammered into shape by a blacksmith’s hand, creating a robust and durable finish. The more wrought iron is worked, the stronger it becomes, making some of the most ornate antique ironwork some of the strongest.
