About this piece
back to topThis Victorian garden gate has stood the test of time for more than 120 years. Made at the hand of a skilled 20th century blacksmith, it is ornately detailed with a range of scrollwork and arrow-shaped details that are a beautiful addition to an English country garden. It has a light surface rust finish and its original latch which is working but a little stiff.
Wrought Iron Garden Gates
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.
