Cast iron and wrought iron: only where necessary

A set of farmhouse ironwork. They are all functional: long strap hinges and a bolt on a door, a grate and fire tongs in a fireplace, a pot hook hanging from the ceiling, a row of nails on the wall for hanging tools. The shapes are simple straight lines and circles, with clear hand-forged marks, and the surface is dark with a hint of rust. There are no decorative scrolls or floral ornaments. Avoid: using decorative ironwork with scroll carvings, using shiny electroplated metal, using ironwork in non-functional positions, allowing severe red rust to flake off the ironwork.

一組農舍的鐵件。它們都是有功能的:門上的長條鉸鏈與插銷、壁爐裡的爐架與火鉗、天花垂下的一根掛鍋鐵鉤、牆上一排掛工具的鐵釘。形狀是簡單的直線與圓,手工鍛打的痕跡明顯,表面是暗色帶一點鏽。沒有任何裝飾性的捲草與花飾。避免:使用有捲草雕飾的裝飾鐵藝、使用亮面電鍍的金屬、把鐵件用在沒有功能的位置、讓鐵件出現嚴重的紅鏽剝落。
