Beautiful, one-of-a-kind, section of stair railing salvaged from a historic building in downtown Scranton. I'm not sure what building, but I do know the section is at least 100 years old by now. It was salvaged between 1980 & 2000 and sat in a warehouse until 2011 when we acquired it.
The horizontal rails or bands of the railing are made of strong wrought iron and the rest is made of cast iron. The iron portions have surface rust but no rot or heavy corrosion. There are many decorative brass pieces attached to the iron frame.
You could distinguish the brass from the iron by looking at the color. Since brass tarnishes a greenish-blue color, and iron rusts brownish-red, the contrast makes the brass pieces stand out. They would stand out even more if you ever get the piece restored and everything cleaned and polished.
Both front and back sides are identical; the intricate decorative details you see on one side are the same on the other.
One side has 4 decorative, long, oval loops and 8 ornate, structural posts. That side also has a straight, plain, structural end-post. The other side has 2 decorative, long, oval loops, 3 ornate, structural posts, and an impressive, highly-ornate end post with gorgeous, acanthus-leaf shaped brass portions.
It's very heavy: ~300 lbs
Since it was a part of a curved stair case, it's curved inwardly on top and curved slightly upwards at the bottom. There are a couple of parts where the rail is bent out of shape, but that could be corrected.
The beauty of this piece is only equaled by the quality of it's craftsmanship and condition. The worst flaw this railing has is a partially disconnected oval-shaped decorative piece in the bottom center. Otherwise, the railing is in excellent, strong, sturdy condition. No breaks, cracks, or rot. This piece is ready for another lifetime of service.
