Antique Old World Wrought Iron - updates to our Ebay Store!


Thought I'd share some outtakes from our recent
iron photo shoot... it's always tricky shooting in bright sun but we made it work.
I love these reflections!


We are in the process of reorganizing our back yard and will
be adding new iron listings to our Ebay Store weekly.


It's no small feat to literally move, tag and document
tons of iron... but we hope it will help folks find the perfect
gate, railing or decorative panel!
Check our Ebay store for updates or if you're in search of particular size,
please send us measurements and we'll search the yard for you.

Large Antique Wrought Iron Panels / Gates

salvaged from Egypt, these would make
amazing driveway gates
* 4 available - $750 each


simple 3-D scroll design

our biggest challenge here
is photographing all of our antique iron...
photos never do these unique pieces justice
to help show off the design, we have attempted
the use of a white curtain
nice, eh?
albeit a little too short!

and now... the man behind the curtain!
For more info on the iron panels,
give us a call or drop us a line

Antique Wrought Iron - Driveway Gates, Garden Gates, Wine Cellar Doors

A few years back,
we received over 200 TONS of
Antique Wrought Iron
salvaged from Egypt


Nine flatbeds total.
Between 100 - 200 years old,
this iron is very high quality -
hot banded & rivited -
sure to last at least another 100 years.


We still have many styles & sizes available
with an onsite metal shop ready to
take on any project.
In honor of Spring,
I thought I'd share some of our
favorite antique wrought iron projects.
See this earlier blog for the 'before'
pictures of the iron shown above.

The iron gates above were
fabricated for the wine cellar at
This was originally 2 panels and an arched transom.
Our craftsman combined them into
a seamless pair of double gates.


This balcony was made from a salvaged
balcony rail and framed with new iron.


Stunning gates & side panels.


The next few pictures show
incorporated into railings
at Deepak Chopra's
Center for Living.







This one is harder to see...
large 6' x 6' panels were used
to create this backdrop in the garden
And a simply elegant balcony rail
designed for a client in Washington, DC.
We currently have a number of iron panels
listed in our Ebay Store here and here.
If you have a particular size or project
your working on, please give us a call.
We'd be happy to take a look in the yard
and send pictures & additional information.
We look forward to hearing from you!

Antique Wrought Iron Driveway Gates

A few years back, we imported a treasure trove of Antique Wrought Iron from Egypt... over 200 tons in all...
We believe it came mainly from Cairo, where there was a French Quarter that was recently renovated.
The iron is very high quality - nearly 100-200 years old and it will surely last at least another 100 years.
Our skilled craftsman continue to create beautiful items from this imported iron: console tables, dining tables, decorative wall accents, garden gates... just to mention a few...
Here's one example of a 'before' & 'after'...
these panels of rusted iron (with beautiful patina!)




turned into this stunning Driveway Gate
fabricated here @ Black Dog Salvage




We still have tons of iron to explore in our yard!
