Iron railings have been used since the start of industrial revolution in the sixteenth and seventeenth century. At that time, the metallurgy was still an art and not an exact science as it is today. Being the work of art, it was costly to have iron railings and only the rich could afford the wrought iron and cast iron railings.
The technique of welding was non-existent and metal joining was only be heating and hammering together or riveting.The biggest advantage of wrought iron railing over other materials is its extremely strong construction.
This is because welds are very reliable and do not break easily due to rust or bacteria growth.
