This is the view from the second floor master bedroom of a new modern style Tuscan Villa. I had the luxury of spending several hours in the room sketching ideas for the exterior rails throughout the house and grounds.

I've noticed in several posts that a number of you have included glass, plastics and other materials into metal railings and sculpture. How have you fixed the materials in place? I'm particularly interested in outdoors pieces and how different "mounting" techniques have stood up over time.

Hand-Forged Brass - - This is a detailed close-up of the first photo I posted of the French Art Deco railing hand-forged from iron and bronze that you requested.

I finally had a chance and some decent weather to deliver and start installed a railing that has been waiting for months. I was a little afraid that they would not like the finish or the design. They were not home when I delivered it and measured for the hand rails.
