Wrought Iron Quilt Racks

 

Subtle, durable alternative to wood quilt racks

 

You would be hard-pressed to imagine a more widely used metal throughout the ages than iron. Even quilt racks -historically constructed from wood- are now being forged in stunning styles of wrought iron.

 

Wrought iron furnishings such as quilt racks can give your home a distinct feel that's as unique as it is gorgeous.

 

The iron renaissance

Wrought iron has become increasingly more popular throughout recent years, as more people begin to value this metal's timeless characteristics. Generally, wrought iron quilt racks come in one of two styles, free-standing or wall-mounted. Either way, the style and finish of wrought iron is capable of accenting the colors and designs of a quilt without distracting from its organic beauty. Since they tend to be subtler in form, wrought iron quilt racks are similar to picture frames, serving to enhance and highlight the beauty of the quilt.

 

Different styles for different quilts

Because of its malleability, wrought iron is easily forged into many different shapes, sizes, and styles of quilt racks. Some of the more popular styles include:

 

Scrolled

 

Double Scrolled

 

Elise

 

Hampton

 

One unique way to further personalize your wrought iron quilt rack is by having one designed with figures or images to match your personality.

 

Because of their extreme durability and subtle ability to accent a room, wrought iron quilt racks are an optimal choice for displaying beautiful quilts and other textiles.
