This reclaimed side gate in wrought iron brings a vintage, rustic aesthetic to any outside space. Used for hundreds of years, its strength and malleability made wrought iron a favourite for blacksmiths. In the 18th and 19th centuries, decorative ironwork became common in both public and private buildings. Its durability and visual appeal have kept it popular in architecture ever since.
This reclaimed wrought iron side gate measures 32 inches wide by 76 inches tall. It fits most side entrances and works well as a replacement. The stretched heart and scrollwork pattern is a classic design. It suits both older homes and modern properties without looking out of place.
The latch is in working order, though the gatepost catch is missing. Hinge tabs are still fixed in place, but post brackets are not included. Both parts are easy to find online or in local ironmongers. Being reclaimed, this wrought iron side gate has some visible surface rust and signs of wear. These marks tell a story and add character to the piece.
Reclaimed wrought iron side gate options like this offer several key benefits. First, they reduce the need for new materials, making them an eco-friendly choice. Second, older ironwork often has superior craftsmanship compared to mass-produced modern gates. That quality is hard to replicate today.
Vintage Looks
Because the gate has already weathered years of use, it blends in naturally with mature gardens and established buildings. You won’t need to wait for it to “settle in.” The aged look of the latch and hinge tabs adds authenticity to any setting.
A reclaimed wrought iron gate brings both history and practicality to your home. It offers security, structure and visual appeal without the shine of new metal. This gate also supports sustainable reuse of materials that would otherwise go to waste.
Whether you’re restoring a period property or updating a modern one, a reclaimed wrought iron gate is a smart, stylish choice.
Match with Victorian pavers to create a cohesive period look.
