Iron Gates

I recently took a trip to Emerald Isle for a Beach house vacation with some blogging friends. I must say it was a trip of a lifetime. Too much fun for one person to ever experience. There is the small historical town of Beaufort on this island. While visiting there we went to the cemetery. I know that sounds a bit morbid, but there is so much history to be told there. I took a few pictures of the iron work there. I love old iron work and the craftsmanship  that it took to produce such pieces.

I loved how the moss was growing on this post and fence giving it such a wonderful patina.

This gate and fence was so intricate with beautiful details.

The wealthy had their own family plots surrounded by fences and gates with the family name on the gate.

I hope you enjoyed some of the intricate work on the iron gates and fences. It just fascinates me. I love using old pieces like these in my garden as seen in this post. Iron gates can also be used as interior decorative pieces. I will do a post on that in the future.
