wrought iron fence

Ornamental metal enclosure

A wrought iron fence is a fence made from iron that has been heated and shaped by hammering rather than cast in a mold.

The material is strong, malleable, and resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for decorative outdoor barriers.

Wrought iron fences often feature ornamental scrollwork, spikes, or finials, and are associated with Victorian architecture, cemeteries, and formal estates: The wrought iron fence surrounded the old mansion.
