Wrought Iron Stair And Bridge Railing
These railings were part of an extensive renovation that transformed a stark and relatively bland house into a richly detailed and comfortable home. My role was to replace an overly formal wooden railing with a heavily forged iron railing that while maintaining some formality would visually add some mass and help ground the decor.
