Ironwork / Fer Forge Schmiedeeisen Hierro Forjado

Thanks to its strength, resilience, and malleability, iron can be transformed in innumerable ways, and used for a variety of differing needs. Traditionally it has been the blacksmith's task to forge the architectural elements decorating the interior and exterior of buildings. Starting in the 16th century, iron craftsmen sought inspiration for their models in the pattern books published throughout Europe. Arabesques, tracery and foliated scrolls are the foundation of this art where classic styles can be found alongside more novel trends.Ironwork / Fer Forge Schmiedeeisen Hierro Forjado, with ISBN 9782914199230 and ISBN 2914199236.
