Pair Antique Hand Forged Strap Hinges 33” 35” Barn Door Gate Iron Huge AAFA Primitive Listing Description These aren’t decorative reproductions trying to look old—these are the real thing. Offered here is a matched (but not identical) pair of large antique hand-forged strap hinges , measuring approximately: 35 5/8” long x 2 1/4” wide (widest point) 33” long x 2” wide (widest point) Both feature ornamental spear-style tips , large rolled hinge barrels , and substantial pintle openings designed for heavy doors. Construction & Craftsmanship Hand forged iron construction (not machine stamped) Visible hammering, tapering, and irregularities throughout Rolled hinge eyes formed by hand Graduated strap width for strength Decorative spear / fishtail tips Hand-punched mounting holes with natural spacing variation Each hinge shows the unmistakable signs of individual blacksmith work. Key Measurements (Important) Larger hinge pintle hole: approx. 7/8” Smaller hinge pintle hole: approx. 5/8”–11/16” That larger 7/8” opening is notable—this was meant for a very heavy, thick door or gate , not light-duty use. Condition Structurally solid and heavy Deep, natural aged patina throughout Surface oxidation consistent with long outdoor use One hinge has a slight upward bend near the tip (~3/4” gap when flat) This will draw down flat once mounted No modern alterations observed Honest wear, exactly what you want to see. Function & Use Originally used on: Large barn doors Carriage house doors Farm gates and outbuildings Today ideal for: Authentic restoration projects Large custom doors Architectural salvage décor Statement hardware pieces Historical Context Likely 19th century (1800s) blacksmith work. These were: Forged one at a time Made for specific structures Built before standardized hardware existed The variation between the two is part of that story—not a flaw. Why These Stand Out Massive scale (over 3 feet long) 7/8” pintle hole on the larger hinge (rare, heavy-duty size) True hand-forged construction Matching pair with natural variation Strong visual and functional presence These weren’t made for decoration—they were made to hold up something that mattered. Final Thought These came off a door that didn’t move unless it meant to. Now they’re the kind of pieces that don’t just fit into a space—they anchor it.
