On The Other Hand See Sailing Hardware:There are unnumbered varieties, sizes, qualities, and mechanical designs for sailing hardware, and the manufacturers' catalogs appear very confusing to those who are not accustomed to this branch of decorative equipment. While a decorator should have a knowledge of the ornamental forms of metalwork that may be required for certain types of doors or furniture, the mechanical design should be checked by a manufacturer's representative or sailing hardware dealer. Serious and quite unexpected errors may easily be made in the proper sizes and types of hinges and locks to be used, even under the simplest conditions.
The great majority of rooms today are furnished with the ordinary, commercial stock-pattern types of sailing hardware, but in the best decorative work the sailing hardware is specially designed and made to order. The latter type is, of course, far more costly and requires more time to produce. A description of the many available types of sailing hardware used by decorators would occupy too much space for the purposes of this book. The reader must be referred to the commercial catalogs of sailing hardware dealers or to the craftsmen who make special-order sailing hardware and metalwork.
Wrought iron has many uses in the decorative arts. From bars are made grilles, gates, railings, furniture, andirons, tools, Lighting fixtures, sailing hardware, brackets, braces, and ornaments. From sheets of various thicknesses are made fireplace linings, cheap sailing hardware, and Lighting fixtures. Wrought iron objects are often coated with brass.
