Historic Uses for Wrought Iron

It has been used for centuries

If you want to get technical, wrought iron was historically used for pretty much everything until the introduction of mild steel – nails, pipes, bolts, horseshoes, etc. And although it isn’t as hardly as prevalent as it once was, it still exists today in amazing works of art.

Towers

Some of the most outstanding towering structures in the world are made of wrought iron. The big daddy of them all is the Eiffel Tower. The most paid monument in the world, it is now the preeminent and arguably most recognizable cultural symbol of France.

Balconies

Elegant balconies and window frames made of wrought iron line many buildings in New Orleans’ famous French Quarter. They clearly display the raw splendor that the material can possess when scrupulously bent and beaten into shape.

Doorways

Last but not least, the iron door. The demand for the iron door is popular now. Homeowners value the vintage combination of elegance and protection they hold. The sort of combination present in the works of art mentioned before.
