About this piece
back to topIf you’re looking for a striking pair of gates to stand-out in a garden, then look no further than this pair of unusual iron gates. Handcrafted in the Victorian period, the wrought iron twists beautifully upwards to create an eye-catching and mysterious design. Perhaps these gates could be used as the doorway to a secret garden or a mythically-themed courtyard. They are in good structural condition, only traces of old paint and surface rust revealing their age. This pair of reclaimed gates are a truly unique design, bringing unusual style to a garden.
Wrought Iron
Gates and ironwork made from wrought iron have 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 gates some of the strongest. Large scale commercial production of wrought iron products ended in the mid 1970s due to the expensive and time-consuming nature of blacksmithing, making wrought iron gates true antiques, showcasing talented craftsmanship of the past.
