76"x20" Antique Vintage Old Reclaimed Salvaged Iron Brass Balcony Curved Stair Railing Panel Section
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.
There are a total of 7 decorative, long, oval loops. 6 are completely intact and 1 at one end is disconnected on one side.
There are 7 ornate, structural posts. All are intact.
The top and bottom rows of the railing have lovely, decorative scrolling floral details. The top is missing about 6 or 7 of these pieces and the bottom there are none missing.
One end has a piece of a larger decorative element which was a part of the railing it was removed from. The ornate piece looks like a rooster's head on one end.
Since it was a part of a curved stair case, it's shaped like a twisted letter "L". There are a couple of parts where the rail is bent out of shape, but that could be corrected.
The worst flaws are the missing and disconnected pieces mentioned above. Otherwise, the railing is in great, sturdy condition. No breaks, cracks, or rot. This piece is ready for another lifetime of service.
