Object Description
A stunning tall antique wrought iron pedestrian gate in Victorian style, handcrafted by a talented early 20th century blacksmith.

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.
Additional information
The width of the gate alone is 86.5cm but the overall width of 94cm includes the opening width with the hinges.
