Description
Rose Iron Works produced traditional styles of wrought iron before venturing into more modern designs. This railing for the Cleveland Play House reflects the mid-18th-century French Rococo taste with a modern adaptation of traditionalist styles, particularly seen in the emblazoned monogram of the owner. Its open, airy composition disguises the incredible technique that was required to achieve such lyrical lines.
