Handcrafted Iron GatesIron forging has been around since 300 BC, when ancient Egyptians used this metal (which they found in fallen meteorites) to make weapons like daggers and spearheads. During the Middle Ages, iron use extended from weapons to more decorative functions inside and outside of churches, castles, monasteries, and more. These pieces included gates, fences, balcony railings, and more. Gates were, and still are, some of the most popular architectural pieces made from wrought iron. They can be extremely intricate, and will last for years without corrosion. To create handcrafted iron gates, a blacksmith has to heat the iron to very hot temperatures until it becomes malleable. From there, the iron is "wrought" into shape using forging tools to bend it into intricate designs. Even to this day, this is how iron gates are handcrafted.
