Wrought Iron Screens

Hand-forged iron, vintage character19 screens From $725

Wrought iron fireplace screens bring the weight and hand-worked character that stamped big-box screens can't imitate — hammered texture, scrollwork, forged feet and finials shaped by American metalworkers. In front of a stone or brick fireplace, iron reads as if it has always belonged there. What makes a screen "wrought iron" True wrought-style screens start with solid steel bar and rod, heated and worked into curves and tapers rather than bent from thin tube. The result is a screen with real mass: it plants firmly on the hearth, the mesh stays taut, and the frame shrugs off decades of use. Our iron screens come from US manufacturers whose primary trade is custom fireplace metalwork, in finishes from matte black to burnished bronze and copper tones. Styles in this collection Flat single-panel screens — one clean plane of mesh in a forged frame, sized to your opening. Tri-fold screens — angled side wings that stand without feet and adapt to different openings. Decorative scrollwork screens — old-world ironwork patterns for traditional and Spanish-revival rooms. Custom sizing, verified before production Most models in this collection are built to order to your exact width and height — useful for oversized masonry openings that stock screens never fit. Measure the opening, enter dimensions in the order form, and our team verifies every custom order before it's built. Prefer a curved top to match an arched opening? Start with our arch fireplace screens. Want the iron look in a sealing door instead? See iron fireplace doors. Manufacturer coverage is summarized on the warranty page.

Wrought Iron Fireplace Screens — Hand-Forged Heritage

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these screens really hand-forged?

Yes — Stoll Bar Iron (formerly ForgeLine) is hammered from billet stock by smiths in Pennsylvania. Twisted bars, scrollwork, and hammer-marked surfaces are signatures of true forging. Cast iron screens (cheaper imitations) lack the surface texture and grain alignment of forged iron.

How much do wrought iron screens cost?

$900-$2,800 typically. Custom sizes and decorative scrollwork push higher. Pricing reflects hand-forging time — a single decorative scroll takes 30-90 minutes to hammer; a full scroll-work screen takes 8-16 hours to forge.

Do wrought iron screens go with modern interiors?

The traditional scroll-work styles read as transitional or rustic — not strictly modern. Stoll's contemporary iron line offers cleaner straight-bar profiles that work in modern and industrial-style interiors without the heritage scrollwork.

Will wrought iron rust indoors?

Properly sealed iron (oil-rubbed, hammered black, antique copper) doesn't rust under normal indoor conditions. The finish coat seals the metal. Outdoor exposure (covered patios, screened lanais) is fine; full weather exposure will require annual maintenance with paste wax.

How heavy is a wrought iron screen?

50-100 lbs typically — significantly heavier than steel or brass equivalents. Plan two-person handling for delivery and install. The base feet are weighted and angled for tipping resistance; floor anchoring is optional for most installs.

Are wrought iron screens fireproof?

The iron itself is essentially fireproof — it's the same material the firebox interior is made from in old masonry homes. The finish coat softens slightly above 600°F but reseals on cooling. Position the screen 12+ inches from the opening for finish longevity.
