Decorative Iron and Metalwork: Great Examples from English Sources by R. Goodwin-Smith,
This magnificent study of decorative English iron and metalwork provides a spirited introduction to the age-old craft, with 140 illustrations ranging from a 14th-century wrought iron gate to the elegant bronze front of a 20th-century art gallery. The author, a passionate collector and expert on the subject, begins with an enthusiastic general history of the craft and follows with chapters on various kinds of antique ironwork, ironwork inspired by historic design, and modern designs. Clear photographs and carefully rendered sketches depict a wide assortment of lace-like grilles and gates, Elizabethan-era firedogs, small handles, hinges, door-knockers, candlesticks, doors, keyhole plates, warming pans, lighting devices, elevator panels, weather vanes, stair railings and balustrades, garden furniture, and numerous other items--many never catalogued before. Delightfully written and meticulously researched, this superb treasury will provide a rich source of inspiration and permission-free graphics for illustrators and designers, and will be an invaluable source of information for collectors, art historians, craftworkers, preservationists, and anyone interested in historic ironwork.

Wrought iron - Wrought iron is a very pure form of commercial iron, having a very small carbon content. It is tough, malleable, ductile and can be easily welded.

Garden furniture - The oldest surviving examples of garden furniture were found in the gardens of Pompeii. They include marble tables and chairs.

Sponge iron - Sponge iron is the product created when iron ore is reduced to metallic iron, usually with some kind of carbon (charcoal, etc), at temperatures below the melting point of iron. A spongy mass results (sometimes called a bloom), consisting of a mix of incandescent wrought iron and slag.

Ornamental iron - Ornamental Iron work is similar to Wrought Iron work, but typically uses mild steel.
