The tradition of using wrought iron in decorative fencing dates back to the Roman Empire, where blacksmiths forged iron into both functional and ornamental pieces. By the Middle Ages, wrought iron became widely used in Europe for gates, railings, and fences, often adorned with intricate designs that showcased the skills of the blacksmith. Each piece was unique, reflecting the style of the period and the individuality of the homeowner. This practice has continued through to modern times, where wrought iron fence ornaments are still handcrafted, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs.

Wrought iron is strong, but also inconsistent and prone to flaws that are impossible to detect until a particular piece fails catastrophically. This is something that happened regularly throughout the nineteenth century, causing factories to collapse on the heads of the workers below and trains to derail or fall into rivers when the bridges they crossed collapsed. Steel, in comparison, is much more consistent, and as soon as people figured out how to make it in large quantities they began using it for everything. In fact, when people say “wrought iron” in reference to fencing, what they are probably referring to is steel fencing that looks like wrought iron. The confusion might also come from the fact that steel is really just iron worked at higher temperatures to ensure an even distribution of carbon.
