I did my master course with the late Freddy Haberman out in Italy and he had some of this Lafitte plate. I was allowed a few pieces to play with. it was easy to cut off squares with a pair of shears. i used it for welding shut a flat ring. a piece was popped between the two overlapping scarfed ends and brought to a mild welding heat. worked a charm. dont remember what i did with the other bit but i had a good look at it. pinkish colour, hardish material (bent slightly) molded into flattened square impressed slab encapsulating the pure iron mesh. my feeling is indeed that the pure iron mesh is the key ingredient. I do wish someone could make it again.

Gates designed by myself to complement the very beautiful settings. forged and embossed steel galv and etched finish. i made up some stained glass panels and set them into the gate. i incorporated the self opening system from the outset so that it is hidden and easily maintained. the curious gate stop shaped a bit like an armoured tortoise is beacause the owned was worried about continualy hitting it! -
