Features: Ironwork originated in the Hittite region of Anatolia around 2500 BC. In the 13th century, Europe created exquisite ironwork. During the Renaissance, ironwork incorporated a style of simplicity, elegance, and brightness, reaching its peak. In the 19th century, ironwork began to be used as decorative architectural elements and became popular. A century ago, it entered China. With the resurgence of the trend of returning to simplicity, people were freed from the practical dogma of simple functionality and sought diversified styles, once again ushering in a golden age for cast iron art.
