The skills of the blacksmiths from the Baroque era are legendary. They applied their art to churches, to the stairways and railings of mansions, to trade signs and a myriad of other ornamental and practical creations. We love the graceful curls and curves so popular in the Baroque decorative tradition. Contrasted and offset by the austere metal rings used to cradle our historical globe, they create a focal point in a well thought out and planned home d?cor. 22 x 55cm, 8.75 x 21.75" Globe _ 18cm, 7"
