Wrought Iron Grille, 16th Century
About the Item
A carved wooden frame serves as a support for the wrought iron grille that has decorated balusters: all have a heart-shaped form in the centre, while the axes are smooth above and spiral below where the heart is upwards, and spirals up and smooth down in those that show this shape with the peak down. These heart-shaped forms appear, for example, in the gothic grid of the Cathedral of Pamplona or in that of the main chapel of the Cathedral of Zamora, or in that of the Monastery of Guadalupe. The bars of square section thin, often twisted, appear in the Spanish rejería since the fourteenth century. The "opening" of vertical bars forming rhombuses, hearts or more complex variants can be seen in examples of the fifteenth century (Cathedral of Avila, etc.).

- Renaissance Grille, Wrought and Gilt Iron, Stone, Spain, 16th CenturyLocated in Madrid, ESChapel grille with two fixed leaves at the sides, and double opening leaf in the center, topped with an elaborate crest, all made of wrought and "blued" iron, creating a polychrome preserved in good condition.

The crest presents an oval shield with the cross of the Order of Calatrava, enhanced with architectural elements and flanked by vegetal "S-shapped" motifs, accompanied by leaves; to the sides of this central piece appear two columns of ajarronado shaft enhanced with "C-shapped-forms" and "S-shapped-forms" drawn in their shafts.

- 16th Century Spanish or Italian Baroque Wrought Iron Nails and Furniture MountsLocated in Stamford, CTGroup of 16th century (or earlier, possibly Gothic) Spanish or Italian wrought iron furniture mounts. These hand-wrought bosses and nails show incredible workmanship. These would have been used to decorate - and to structurally hold together an early chest or casket. The four geometric bosses beautifully made, eight ounces each without the nail! The nails are works of art in themselves, with their heavy geometric heads. Also two round bosses with the nail integral to the piece, one a mushroom form, the other like a parasol. And a single hand-wrought double sided nail. Great group of early iron. Provenance: Frances Pratt, Writer, Artist, Collector. New York City.
