About the Item

19th Century French Napoleon III Period wrought iron Balustrade ~ Window Guard is a stunning work of the metalsmith's art! Hand-crafted during the middle of the 19th century, it features a classical influence evidenced in the Greek coin motif on top and bottom, in between which appear two panels of exquisite scrollwork adorned with foliates. The rounded sides provide a little room between the window and wall, and are themselves lavished with elaborate metal sculpting in solid iron, with the entire piece in riveted construction as per the traditional craftsmanship from centuries prior and extending through the entire 2nd Empire period. An excellent choice as an overlook rail on a switchback staircase, or perhaps an interior guard for a 2nd floor overlook onto a room with a vaulted ceiling, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination! Circa 1860s Measures 35H x 47W x 5.5D. Available for pickup in the Dallas Design District, Dallas, TX.

Pair Mid-19th Century French Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Framed Panels
Located in Dallas, TX
Pair mid-19th century French hand-forged wrought iron framed panels were painstakingly crafted by an obviously talented metal smith out of red-hot iron to create an artistic window accent that also happens to be exceedingly secure! Hand-forged during the Napoleon III Period which was the beginning of the heydays of the Belle Epoque, each panel is constructed using rivets which is difficult, tedious, and requires considerable skill, but results in a finished work that literally transcends time itself! The classically-inspired architecture of the works are undeniable, as is the subtle French touch in the elegant scrollwork and curvatures. Each is mounted in its original solid pine framework, and because they are hand-forged, are very slightly different in size which is only immediately apparent when they're placed right next to each other. Perfect for adding a timeless Old World touch to your interior or exterior decor...
