Selections from Hierros artísticos, originally published: Barcelona, Spain : F. Seix, 1901.
Interior designers, craftspeople, and antique lovers will welcome this fine volume devoted to the decorative ironwork of Spain. Carefully selected and lovingly reproduced from a rare, hundred-year-old publication, over 300 outstanding black-and-white illustrations depict ornate altar screens, candleholders, hinges, chandeliers, doorknockers, keys and many other items. Brief captions identify the type, provenance, dates, etc., of the pieces, which include 15th-century grillwork adorning the gate of a Barcelona cathedral, an elegantly detailed brass chest from Castille, several pairs of fantastically embellished scissors, a Roman door from the Catalan region, Castilian chandeliers, and much more. Offering a splendid sampling of Spain's rich legacy of artistic ironwork, this volume, also serves as a magnificent source of design inspiration for artists and craftspeople.
