About this piece
back to topIt doesn’t take much imagination to think of this wrought iron side gate at the entrance to a scenic country garden thanks to its ornate design and ornate scrolling details. Crafted at the hand of a talented blacksmith of the 1930s, this Georgian wrought iron gate has stood the test of time, handcrafted details and the original working latch handsomely preserved. The condition is good with an even paint finish, making this side gate ready to hang in a garden, passageway or yard.
This side gate is suitable for an opening of approximately 120 cm. We also have a similar gate with a new latch; find it here.
Wrought Iron Side Gate
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.
