Metalwork this Art Thursday. I wanted to focus on wrought iron, but once I read about it for a while, I realized that I can't tell the difference between items that are wrought iron and ones that aren't. So here are items that were all called "wrought iron" and maybe they even are :-):

Okay, so the wrought iron is not really the main feature of this shot, but it took my fancy anyway:

ReplyDeleteWrought iron is definitely cool. I think it's "worked iron" (from the medieval version of worked). Whereas cast iron is iron that has been cast in molds. Hard to see the difference, though, sometimes!
These are great examples, especially the detail of the Emile Robert gate.
But as much as I admire and enjoy the wrought iron on the Barcelona balcony, that is one exceptional piece of art on the wall next to it!
