Unpainted, wrought iron is general black, that and some rust (mig pigments) and you should be good to go.

Thanks Mathew. Would there be any metallic sheen on the edges or other worn areas?

Pollyscale does a tarnished black that would be quite a nice starting point. Otherwise in Tamiya, add a few drops of flat red and buff to flat black.
Wrought iron is also frequently painted green, also wrought bronze is pale green patina.

I like mixing black (or dark grey) with a bit of brown.
The result is not so toy-like as straight black.
