Designs for iron and brass work in the style of the XV and XVI centuries
A London pattern book published by Ackermann in 1836, compiled by the Gothic Revival architect Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin for metalworkers and craftsmen reviving medieval styles. Its plates show ornamental iron and brass fittings such as hinges, straps, and finials drawn in crisp line engraving, with dense Gothic tracery, fleurs-de-lis, and heraldic shields that a designer could adapt for decorative ironwork or wrought metal motifs.
