Concise explanations accompany intricate black-and-white illustrations to reveal the complex fabrication techniques and myriad elaborate foliate motifs employed by French craftsmen. Book News Annotation:As well as a teacher, write, and scholar, Lecog (1913-71) was an
ironwork and metalwork expert and collector of antique hardware and
domestic implements. Here he uses text and line drawings to examine a
wide range of French architectural ironwork and the evolution of its
style through the centuries. Among his topics are the iron industry,
aesthetics, leafwork, grillework, locks, bolts and sash-bolts, and
keys. Fer forgé et serrurerie was published in 1999 by Societé
d'Editions Littéraires et Documentaires, Paris.
