Dutch-Style Balconettes
Renovations to a Brookline, MA home that added new windows required reproduction ironwork to match the Dutch-style pieces already on the premises. Using our 1929 Little Giant power hammer, we textured every inch of steel to match the hammered texture of the original. It is interesting to note that the hammer we used is from the same era as the original balconettes. The motifs included forge-welded scroll ends and hand-forged rectangles.
Originally, we were asked to make two shallow balconettes for this home. A year later, we were asked to modify those two into one long balconette by creating a new center section and splicing it in. We completed the splice using mechanical connections for ease of installation.
We produced two "full" balconettes that included floor gratings.
All components were hot-dip galvanized for weather resistance. The top coat was a speckled powder coat (not pictured).
