Painstakingly reprinted from a rare French volume, this archive of decorative ironwork designs will be an invaluable source of information for art historians, craftsmen, dealers, collectors, preservationists -- anyone interested in historic ironwork. Sure to appeal as well to readers who made Durenne's Ornamental Ironwork a Dover best seller, this collection of 1,100 illustrations depicts elaborate motifs used on doorway and balcony grilles, moldings, gates, candelabras, hat racks, garden seats, vases, crosses, funerary ornaments and monuments, finials, doorknobs, and many other ornamental features. A rich source of inspiration and copyright-free graphics, this magnificent treasury will also be welcomed by commercial artists and designers.
