Crafted, shaped, or worked on by hand rather than by machine, especially metal or decorative objects.
Compound of 'hand' and 'wrought' (past participle of 'work' in archaic English from Old English 'wyrcan'), meaning 'worked' or 'made'.
Handwrought became a prestige label in the Arts and Crafts movement (1880s-1910s) when factories were industrializing—calling something 'handwrought' was a rebellion against mass production and a marker of artistic value.
