There’s something unmistakable about a home built with purpose—whether it’s a mountaintop lodge, a working cattle ranch, or a backcountry cabin nestled deep in the woods. These places aren’t just structures; they’re rooted in tradition, carved out with grit, and shaped by the land they sit on.

When it comes to finishing a space like that, nothing complements it better than iron hardware forged the old-fashioned way. Whether you’re restoring a historic bunkhouse or putting the finishing touch on a modern homestead, these standout pieces from Old West Iron bring strength, character, and timeless appeal to every build.

1. Double Layer Teton Mountain Thru Saddle

Perfect for:

• Post-and-beam cabins

• Great room mantels

• Timber entryways

With its bold cutouts and hand-applied finish, this piece embodies the wild spirit of the West—functional, rugged, and built to last.

2. Authentic Arrowhead Door Pull

HDP-304 Authentic Arrowhead Door Pull »

Finished in your choice of patina—from black oil to hand-rusted—this pull brings historical flair and frontier edge to your entryway.
