The classic look of scrolled, forged-style metalwork: what is real wrought iron, what is steel and how to keep it handsome.
True wrought iron was made by hand and is rare today. Most modern wrought-iron style work is mild steel, shaped, forged or fabricated into scrolls, pickets, finials and decorative panels. It offers the classic look with consistent quality and easier repair.
Ornamental work has many joints and exposed edges, so rust control matters. Water collects where pickets meet rails and at the base of posts. Careful priming and paint, with regular touch-ups of chips, keep ornamental gates and fences handsome for decades.
