Wrought Iron Juliet Balcony With Scrollwork

Product Description

This wrought iron Juliet balcony blends Spanish and Mediterranean character with airy elegance. Mirrored scrolls create a light field without bulk. A clean edge keeps the profile minimalist and refined. The rectangular frame uses top and bottom rails. Mid-rails sit at one third and two thirds height. A central vertical strengthens the span and centers the eye. Side posts act as stiles for crisp borders. Large opposing S-curves form a heart or lyre motif. Small cartouche scrolls enrich shallow top and bottom bands. Proportions read slender, open, and symmetrical.
