Late 19th Century Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Gate in Spanish Moorish Style

This exquisite wrought iron gate is a remarkable artifact from the late 19th century, reflecting the intricate artisanship of the pre-welding era. Masterfully hand-forged from solid iron by a skilled blacksmith, this gate stands as a testament to the era's craftsmanship. The design boasts an arched fan top and over-scrolled frame, adorned with scroll decoration throughout. Its Spanish Moorish style evokes the grandeur of its historical period, making it an impressive statement piece for any garden or architectural setting.

The arched tops and intricate scroll decoration, are hallmarks of the Spanish Moorish aesthetic. Additionally, the hand-forged craftsmanship and the use of solid, not hollow, iron are indicative of the quality and techniques used before modern welding, which aligns with the historical methods of the Moors.

Condition: The gate is in outstanding condition, free of any damage, breaks, or repairs. It carries an authentic rust and patina, consistent with its age and outdoor heritage, further authenticating its historical provenance.

Dimensions: Width: 38 inches Height: 82.5 inches Depth: 1.25 inches Weight: In excess of 100 pounds

This substantial piece is both a functional entryway and a work of art, ready to grace a new home with its historical elegance and charm.
