Revolutionary Iron Collection: Built for a New World, Forged to Last
di Maddison Mellem su Apr 30, 2025Before the factories and forges of the Industrial Age, every piece of hardware was made by hand — hammered into shape on an anvil, one strike at a time. The Revolutionary Iron Collection from Old West Iron is a tribute to that era. It’s a line forged in the spirit of independence, self-reliance, and the unyielding craftsmanship that built America.
Whether you’re restoring a colonial home or adding handcrafted touches to a new build, this collection brings the grit and integrity of the 1700s into the modern world.
Hand-Forged with Purpose
At Old West Iron, we don’t believe in shortcuts. Each item in the Revolutionary Iron Collection is hand-forged by American blacksmiths using centuries-old techniques. There’s no mass production here — just raw steel, fire, and the trained hands of artisans who understand that real beauty lies in the details.
Every hinge, bracket, and latch in this collection echoes the strength and simplicity of the hardware that once held together cabins, churches, taverns, and colonial homes during the Revolutionary era.
You’ll notice the difference the moment you pick it up — the weight, the texture, the hammer marks that prove someone put in the time.
Designed for Heritage and Modern Living
While the collection is rooted in colonial American history, the designs are versatile enough to blend into a range of architectural styles. These pieces are especially fitting for:
-
Restoration Projects — Whether it’s an 18th-century farmhouse or a historical inn, this hardware completes the look with authentic period-appropriate elements.
-
Rustic and Farmhouse Interiors — Pair with natural wood, exposed beams, and stone for that grounded, timeworn aesthetic.
-
New Builds with Old Souls — Bring warmth and heritage into newly constructed homes by anchoring them with handcrafted iron.
-
Cabins and Lodges — Add a sense of permanence and strength to your retreat with historically inspired ironwork.

Built to Outlast Generations
Revolution isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s in the quiet strength of a hand-forged bracket that holds up a timber beam. Or in the latch that clicks closed with satisfying precision. The Revolutionary Iron Collection is about bringing back that kind of permanence — the kind you can feel in your hands and pass on to the next generation.
