Forged items
People have already learned to process iron in the 3rd millennium BC. Forged items intended for the daily needs started to be produced in Asia in the 12th century BC. Iron has all-purpose utilization. Forged railings, gates, furniture, jewelleries, craft tools and weapons - these all are made from iron.
Blacksmiths always used to have a special social status, because they were able to work the fire. People even thought that blacksmiths mastered a kind of magic in the La Tene period. Blacksmithery became a handicraft in the Middle Ages. Blacksmithery reached its height in the baroque period. Baroque artistic blacksmiths excelled especially in France. Beautiful forged decorative elements were created in parks, on balconies, in courtyards. Forged knockers, keys, locks, etc. were made too. Forged items are significant in the Louvre and Versailles.
