Publisher's Note:

Antique lovers, architecture buffs, and graphic artists will treasure this magnificent collection of decorative ironwork designs from France. Over 1,500 handsome illustrations, drawn from actual examples of ornamental ironwork in the architecture of Bordeaux (famous for its wealth of decorative ironwork), depict balconies, gates, grilles, stair railings, and doorknobs and doorknockers. Painstakingly reproduced from a rare early 20th-century volume privately printed in Paris, these lovely images -- rendered with extraordinary clarity and remarkable detail -- incorporate floral and foliate designs, human and animal figures, musical motifs, heraldic crests, mythological figures, geometrics and much more. Artists and designers will find this affordable treasury a rich source of inspiration and copyright-free graphics.
