Product Description
Perhaps the only publication available dedicated to showing a wide range of contemporary gates, railings and fences which is not the catalog of a specific company or dedicated to industrially produced ironwork. These 2 large volumes were specifically produced by Antonello Rizzo as sourcebooks for blacksmiths and fabricators who produce gates and railings. They are imported from Italy and all work shown is Italian. TEXT IS ITALIAN ONLY but the importance of these books lies in the photos, not the text. If you make wrought iron gates, fences and railings, you'll find this hefty set extremely useful.
THE FIRST VOLUME is an excellent sourcebook for smiths/fabricators who are looking for ideas on producing attractive, but not highly detailed or involved gates and railings, of a more more MODERN look and design. The gates and railings in the first volume can be made by any experienced smith.
THE SECOND VOLUME of this unique set showcases gates, railings and fences of a more artistic and sometimes more classical style than those shown in the first volume. However, all work shown was fabricated in the last 15 years. So while the influence may be classical in some cases, the actual work is contemporary. The work in making these gates, fences and railings is definitely more involved than for those in the first volume.
