Gate. Wrought Iron. Spain, 17th Century.

Gate with passage. Wrought iron. Spain, 17th century.
Rectangular iron railing with a balustrade at mid-height, a frame and supports to keep it upright. The vertical bars have opposing balustrade shapes and a series of discs and small smooth moldings, all arranged symmetrically around this horizontal balustrade. On the sides, two square bars have a series of smooth moldings and architectural decoration with a strong classical influence. Compare, for example, with the works preserved in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, or with the confessional of the Metropolitan Museum in New York dated 1629 (inv 57.137.51) and with another in the same museum, the work of Francisco González (inv 56-234.12 Ad). -
