While cast iron can be used to duplicate specific patterns and historical designs very precisely on a larger scale (specifically designs with a great degree of ornate detail), wrought iron is generally more highly sought after for its one-of-a-kind bespoke craftsmanship. Wrought iron is ideal for a statement piece: each work is hand-forged by trained artisans and the resulting product can be shaped and formed to your exact specifications in ways that make them truly stand out from less custom-fabricated materials.

The use of cast iron in fencing can be traced back to the early 19th century during the Industrial Revolution when advancements in metallurgy allowed for more sophisticated decorative elements. Cast iron picket fences were often seen in Victorian architecture, serving not only as functional barriers but also as integral components of landscaping designs. They adorned gardens, front yards, and parks, symbolizing elegance and permanence. Today, the revival of classic styles and the appreciation for historical aesthetics has led to a resurgence in the popularity of cast iron picket fences.

Moreover, artisans now leverage modern technology alongside traditional techniques, allowing for even more elaborate designs. With advancements in welding and cutting methods, complex shapes and intricate designs can be created with precision. This fusion of old-world craftsmanship and modern technology means that ornamental wrought iron can cater to contemporary tastes while retaining its timeless charm.
