The so called iron art has a long history. Traditional iron art products are mainly used for decoration of buildings, homes and gardens. The earliest iron products were produced around 2500 BC, and the Hittite Kingdom in Asia Minor is widely considered as the birthplace of iron art.
People in the Hittite region of Asia Minor processed a variety of iron products, such as iron pans, iron spoons, kitchen knives, scissors, nails, swords, and spears. These iron products are either rough or fine. Strictly speaking, these iron art products should be called ironware to be precise. Time passing, science and technology have developed, and people’s lifestyles and daily necessities have changed with each passing day. In the hands of generations of iron craftman  and in the furnace of emotional fire, ironware has gradually lost its ancient "rust" and glowed. thus was born an infinite styles of iron art products. The ancient profession of blacksmithing gradually disappeared, and ironware was eliminated by the rapid technical development in the the history of iron curving.
1. The iron art and its environment

The iron art is harmonious and iconic with the surrounding environment. In the same village, this one is different from the other one. The A is different from the B. People can distinguish many styles in a very small area, from one home to another one, contemplating an excellent aesthetic design, en eye-catching curvature or shocking shape!

Proportion and perspective are reasonable, beautiful, with high artistic touch so as passers-by pedestrians can stop and admire them. These iron art products reflect cultural tastes of special owners and customer groups, especially some cultural entertainment and dining places. Rich and noble people can own such king of expensives iron products, the classic ones from seventeenth or eighteenth century.

2. Eco-friendly products
Most of iron art products comply with environmental protection. Beside this eco-friendly properties of the iron art products, they are easy to work and curve. With a fine workmanship, reasonable process, strong craftsmanship, the products appearance is smoothly polished, eliminating burrs and scratches; these technics coupled with an anti-corrosion and anti-rust treatment using a uniform coating give to people a long lasting products.

Nowdays, many people prefer iron art products because of the aboce reasons. Strength, high resistance to wind and rain, long lasting use, anti-insect etc…

3.Economical process .
The cost of iron crafts is another matter. Today, the revival and widespread use of iron art is not a simple historical repetition. Even in the 21st century, no more important metal exists than iron, and this has been true for as much as 3,000 years. Workable ores of iron occur in almost every part of the world, and a variety of techniques can produce forms of the metal with a great range of properties. Historically, there have been three basic forms of iron: wrought iron, cast iron, and steel. Craftsmen relying entirely on experience and observation discovered each of these forms and used them for centuries. It was not until the 19th century that the constituent differences among them were understood, particularly the role of carbon.

Wrought iron is almost pure iron, a metal that can be readily worked in a forge and that is tough and yet ductile, meaning it can be hammered into shape. Cast iron, on the other hand, has a marked amount of carbon, perhaps as much as five percent, mixed in with the metal (in both chemical and physical combination). This constitutes a product that, unlike wrought iron, can be melted in charcoal furnaces and thus poured and cast in molds. It is very hard but also brittle. Historically, cast iron was the product of blast furnaces, first used by Chinese metalsmiths perhaps as early as 2,500 years ago.

For the last century and half, the most important form of iron has been steel. Steel is actually a great range of materials, whose properties depend both on the amount of carbon contained—typically between 0.5 and 2 percent—and on other alloying materials. Generally, steel combines the toughness of wrought iron with the hardness of cast iron, hence historically it has been valued for such uses as blades and springs. Before the middle of the 19th century, achieving this balance of properties required craftsmanship of a high order, but the discovery of new tools and techniques, such as open-hearth smelting and the Bessemer process (the first inexpensive industrial process for mass-producing steel from iron), made steel cheap and plentiful, displacing its rivals for almost all uses.

The reason behind this iron art success is simply its low cost process.
