Product Description
This decorative wrought iron balcony with fancy sunburst and scroll detailing celebrates the fusion of structural geometry and hand-forged artistry found in Spanish Colonial and Mexican design. The rectangular frame features a large central circle crowned by a smaller ring, forming a distinctive stacked medallion. From the center, curved radiating bars extend outward in a controlled sunburst pattern, while paired S-scrolls fill the side and lower fields in mirrored harmony. The top rail carries a continuous scroll frieze, creating a visual cornice that adds richness and balance. A vertical lance-like finial rises from the medallion’s crown, introducing classical rhythm. Hand-forged texture and a deep black patina highlight the craftsmanship, making this piece both ornamental and structurally refined—perfect for hacienda, Mediterranean, or Colonial Revival façades.
