Pair, Antique Spanish Colonial Style Iron Prickets
Located in Atlanta, GA
This pair of Spanish Colonial-style iron prickets, dating from the early 20th century or possibly 19th century, is a striking example of hand-forged craftsmanship from a bygone era. Crafted in the tradition of Spanish Colonial metalwork, these prickets feature a central stem adorned with four meticulously hand-forged roundels, which ascend in a graceful, rhythmic pattern.
