Free Vintage Clip Art - Spectacular Ornate Gate

Spectacular Ornate Gate

Oh my gosh!  This gate is nothing short of unbelievable!

I'm not certain if this gate is wrought iron but since I love the wrought iron look here are some wrought iron facts:

There are wrought iron gates in Westminster Abbey that date back to the 13th century

The last English ironworks closed in 1974

The Eiffel Tower is made from puddle iron, a form of wrought iron

Before they were made from steel, horseshoes, nails, rivets, wire, nuts and bolts were made of wrought iron
