Ironwork is iron that has been shaped — often bent, twisted, or cut — into fences, gates, , balconies, and other fittings that are meant to look attractive as well as strong. Think of an old garden gate with curls and leaves in the metal, or a balcony with a pattern: that is ironwork. The picture is decorative iron, not a pile of tools in a shed. The word can also cover the iron parts of a building more generally, but usually meet it with those handsome fences and gates. People still make ironwork by hand; factories make simpler versions. You can speak of “the ironwork on the gate” the way you speak of woodwork on a door.
鐵藝、鍛鐵細工(欄杆、大門等彎成花樣的鐵件)
