Three Facts
Worth Knowing About Metal Grilles
The Three Facts Relate to the Three Kinds
1. Stamped Metal (Sheet Steel) 2. Cast Iron
3. Ferrocraft Metal
Stamped Metal Grilles are the cheapest form. By their very nature they have marked limits of design. Having been used so extensively in Plain Lattice treatment they lack distinction and their common use makes the effect monotonous.
Cast Iron Grilles in their customary handling must ever lack that sharpness of detail and those niceties of finish that bespeak the foundryman’s handling rather than that of the metal craftsman.
“Ferrocraft” Metal Grilles are the height of the Grille maker’s art. Real old time craftsmen make the patterns in metal and lovingly hand-chase every choice little detail. “Ferrocraft” Metal Grilles in their final rendering are a faithful reproduction of the design. Instead of the design losing in the finished subject, it is enhanced, as only the touch and handling of master craftsmen can give.
These grilles being used for interior decoration, no expense is spared to make them adaptable for Period rooms.
The name “Ferrocraft” is on the back of each piece. They, in no sense compete in cost with job foundry work.
Their value is apparent
Although we make all three kinds of Grilles, do not in any way confuse our ˮFerrocraft” Metal ones with the usual Cast Iron sort.
