Many centuries worth of ornamental design in wrought iron are brought to us in this book, including the restrained English works, the tasteful Italian and French, the elegant Spanish, and the lively German types, some of which overflow with rocaille, flowers, leaves and ribbon decor. Each is depicted in all particulars in this fascinating work. From the gratings, entries, and gates of medieval Europe, to the artistic creations of the 17Th and 18Th century, and finally to the works of today, Heinhold provides valuable historical information about these items as well as their restoration. With hundreds of photos with book, this book will be appreciated by any enthusiast.
