WROUGHT IRON LAMPS ADD A RUSTIC OR ELEGANT TOUCH

Wrought iron has been a much-beloved material by interior designers (craftsmen of the time) and architects for centuries. 

The early Romans made furniture with it. And, it later became very popular throughout Europe for making for stair rails, gates, and numerous types of lighting fixtures.

Today, it remains a popular material for making iron table lamps of various styles ranging from Old World Mediterranean, Old West Americana, 15th Century European, to 20th Century Modern.

Wrought Iron is a malleable and tough material.  It can be formed into many shapes – from delicate looking swirls and curls to sturdy looking rectangular and linear forms.

Cast Iron is another form of iron that is used for table lamps and other home accessories. This type of iron is more brittle and requires that the objects be cast.

TRADITIONAL WROUGHT IRON LAMP

Today, most of the metal that we see that resembles wrought iron is actually a form of “mild steel”.

By the late 1800s, commercially made wrought iron was no longer produced, for the most part. Steel could be produced much less expensively by the newer manufacturing processes.
