I suspect the original design is actually French. I don't as a rule do other peoples designs ,but in this particular case I though it a really lovely scroll (as scrolls go) AND an interesting symbiotic style with the buildings architecture,which consistently reminded me of the Palace of Knossos on Crete,King Midas's remarkable architectural complex til fate and the Gods conspired against him.(Partially destroyed by earthquake somewhere around 1200 BC.)</p> <br class="clear-both" /><!-- google_ad_section_end --> <p><a href="http://www.artmetal.com/images/architectural_gallery/stephen_fitz_gerald/2009/07/croatian_railing_front_facade">read more</a></p> http://www.artmetal.com/images/architectural_gallery/stephen_fitz_gerald/2009/07/croatian_railing_front_facade#comment Architectural Gallery exterior railings rainlings Thu, 30 Jul 2009 03:17:11 -0500 Stephen Fitz-Gerald 8643 at http://www.artmetal.com
