The author details how iron was initially used for utilitarian purposes, and then its use expanded to include ornamental features. The book outlines how iron became popular for its tractability, and how skilled artisans developed it to create beautiful and functional objects for buildings. The book explores the development of ironwork in various periods of building, including weathervanes, roof finials, gates, windows, door grilles, fences, and more. The author discusses how these objects were effectively studied and executed to become splendid examples of art, and how their ornamental function eventually surpassed their practical purpose.
