All of our products are designed by, and built under the supervision of award winning artist H.J. Nick. Not only that, every item is personally inspected by H.J. Nick, and does not leave our factory until it has been found to meet all world class fine art qualifications.

You can add the custom ornamental iron strap to any of our custom doors. These old world style decorative hinges are the perfect compliment to any of our medieval, gothic, Renaissance inspired, or castle and cathedral door offerings. Like all of our custom door hardware, these hinges are built by the hands of our expert blacksmiths. Each hinge is hand hammered by master blacksmiths over a coal fired forge using tried and tested techniques. Additionally, we build all of our hardware products from pure solid wrought iron. Unlike other commonly used metals wrought iron will not corrode with exposure to the elements. This makes for a piece of hardware that will stand the the test of time, while requiring little or no maintenance.

Anvil hammered and hand patina finished, we guarantee our custom hardware will never erode, and will stay beautiful for generations. Your guests will marvel at the charm of your custom ornamental iron strap. These custom hinges and all of our products are a genuine one of a kind that will never be exactly reproduced. They are built the old fashioned way, with fire, hammer, and anvil. When you purchase our medieval door hardware products, they are made using the same techniques and materials that would have been used in the Middle Ages. It is our believe that historically correct methods and materials are especially relevant when creating a fine art quality product. Don't settle for low quality reproductions when you can own a genuine, handmade piece.

Custom Ornamental Iron Strap Additional Details

Every custom door hardware product from ArtFactory.com is individually hammered and twisted into shape. Our hardware is never cast, drop forged, or mass produced. This means that every product is a one-of-a-kind item that will never be reproduced.

At ArtFactory.com we build all of our custom ornamental iron strap, and all of our door hardware, including pulls, knobs, handles, slide locks, and clavos using the same old world materials and techniques. All custom door hardware products are made from pure, hand forged wrought iron, because unlike other metals, wrought iron doesn't corrode with exposure to the elements. Furthermore, all of our genuine wrought iron hardware is finished with a hand applied, iron oxide, advance patina. This patina is heat applied at over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit so that it will bond to the molecules of the metal. What this means is a finish that will stand the test of time and look better with age. Because our finishes actually become part of the metal, they will never crack, flake, or fade like powders and paints.

More About Genuine Wrought Iron Door Hardware

Genuine wrought iron has a rich history in Europe, where it was used extensively by master blacksmiths for centuries. Wrought iron is an iron alloy with a very low carbon content and a high level of ductility, which made it ideal for forging into intricate shapes and designs. In the Middle Ages, wrought iron was a highly prized material for weapons, armor, and other tools. It was also used in architecture, particularly in the construction of gates, railings, and for decorative ironwork. Blacksmiths in Europe developed advanced techniques for working with wrought iron, including twisting, forging, and riveting.

During the Industrial Revolution in the 18th and 19th centuries, the production of wrought iron was greatly increased with the development of new methods such as the puddling process. Today, true wrought iron is no longer produced on a large scale. However, there are still master blacksmiths in America; such as our in-house master blacksmiths at Artfactory.com, and in shops across Europe, who continue to work with genuine wrought iron, using traditional techniques. These master craftsmen produce high-quality, handcrafted pieces that are highly sought after for their beauty and durability. Artfactory.com, has the ability, through our classically trained blacksmiths, anvil, and coal fired forge, to make first-hand, any wrought iron designs from history, in the same hand and materials as the originals.
