Wrought iron derived from iron alloy is a soft, malleable, and fibrous variety suitable for forging or rolling rather than casting due to its low carbon content. The word ‘wrought’ is a past participle of the verb ‘to work’; hence, wrought iron stands for ‘worked iron’. During the 17th to 19th century, wrought iron was known in various names based on its forms, origin, and its quality. In contrast, in the 20th century, it was set to use for building decorative items like iron railings, doors, balconies, grilles, and other exterior fittings.
Decorative items made out of wrought iron are in great demand nationally as well as at international markets; hence there are many manufacturers and laborers across the country putting in hard efforts to create this absolute masterpiece. One such manufacturer is New Handicrafts from Nagpur, started by Mr. Nitesh and Mr. Santosh in 2010. With the backing of 25 skilled artisans, the company is a leading entity in the manufacturing, wholesale, and supply of antique metal statues and various types of traditional and contemporary wall hangings.
