One of Simmons' most photographed works is the Egret Gate at 2 St. Michael's Alley in Charleston, South Carolina.
Philip Simmons (June 9, 1912 – June 22, 2009) was an American artisan and blacksmith specializing in the craft of ironwork. Simmons spent 78 years as a blacksmith, focusing on decorative iron work.[1] When he began his career, blacksmiths in Charleston made practical, everyday household objects, such as horseshoes.[1] By the time he retired 77 years later, the craft was considered an art form rather than a practical profession.[1]
Examples of Simmons' work, including iron gates, can be seen throughout the city of Charleston, South Carolina, as well as the rest of South Carolina Lowcountry.[1] His pieces are displayed at the Smithsonian Museum, South Carolina State Museum, Paris, France, and China.[1]
