How old are iron doors?
Iron doors were first used around the 10th century during the Middle Ages. Wrought iron doors fortified castles, towns and other high-invasion areas. As the designs and intricacies improved over time, heavily detailed doors became a status symbol for the upper-middle class and places of worship. Shop a selection of iron doors on 1stDibs.
